Supreme Court Blocks Trump’s National Guard Occupation of Chicago

The Supreme Court upheld a block on the National Guard’s deployment to Chicago Tuesday, dealing the Trump administration a significant blow and embracing an interpretation of the laws that govern the Guard’s activation that differs considerably from the administration’s. The majority was unsigned, though Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote a separate concurrence. Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, wrote one dissent, and Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote another. The decision will reverberate throughout Trump’s attempt to deploy the Guard into Democratic cities across the country; multiple other cases have been in limbo awaiting the Court’s delayed ruling.
