Supreme Court wants more time and information before deciding if Trump can send National Guard to Chicago
- On Oct. 29, the U.S. Supreme Court sought more information and paused a ruling on President Donald Trump’s National Guard deployment, asking if `regular forces` means U.S. military and requesting briefs from the Justice Department, Illinois, and Chicago.
- After Illinois and Chicago sued on Oct. 6, U.S. District Judge April Perry blocked the deployment since Oct. 9, citing concerns about civil unrest.
- The dispute centers on a federal law about invoking the Guard for invasion or rebellion, and the Justice Department told the Supreme Court the president decides when state forces are needed, citing Chicago’s danger.
- That means the deployment—blocked for 20 days—will likely remain blocked for at least 19 more, and the high court set Nov. 10 for the government’s brief and Nov. 17 for replies.
- State and local officials argue federalization infringes state power and Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul said local law enforcement handled isolated protests, while former high-ranking military leaders urged federalizing the Guard be a last resort amid Operation Midway Blitz and Broadview protests.
