Supreme Court blocks Trump from deploying the National Guard to Chicago
By John Fritze, CNN
(CNN) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday barred President Donald Trump from deploying the National Guard to Chicago to protect ICE agents, handing the White House a rare loss at the high court as the president has sought to send troops to multiple American cities.
“At this preliminary stage, the government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois,” the court said in its unsigned order.
Conservative Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch dissented from the opinion.
CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.
