About this listen
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to grant the administration’s emergency request to deploy National Guard troops in Chicago, allowing federalization in theory but blocking their use on the ground. Illinois and Chicago argued the move violated the 10th Amendment and lacked any credible evidence of rebellion, a finding upheld by a federal district judge and largely affirmed by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. While the ruling is preliminary, it represents a significant judicial check on executive power and is likely to strengthen similar legal challenges underway in Los Angeles, Portland, and Washington, D.C., as broader questions over the use of regular armed forces continue through the courts.
