The U.S. Supreme Court has delivered a major blow to former President Donald Trump by blocking his bid to deploy National Guard troops on the streets of Chicago to protect ICE operations. In a rare emergency-docket loss for Trump, the conservative-majority court ruled that the administration failed to show clear legal authority to use the military for law enforcement in Illinois. The decision sparked sharp dissents and reignited debate over presidential power, federal overreach, and the limits of deploying troops in Democratic-led cities amid immigration crackdowns.
