Supreme Court Rejects Trump Bid To Deploy National Guard In Chicago
- The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected Trump’s emergency request to allow National Guard troops to be deployed in Chicago, dealing a setback to the admin’s attempts to curtail high crime rates in major cities.
- The 6-3 decision left in force a judge’s ruling that has blocked the deployment since Oct. 9.
-
“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 majority said.
The government hadn’t shown the president could legally “federalize the Guard in the exercise of inherent authority to protect federal personnel and property in Illinois.”
- Justice Samuel Alito dissented from the high court’s ruling Tuesday, saying he had “serious doubts” about the majority’s reasoning.
-
“The Court fails to explain why the President’s inherent constitutional authority to protect federal officers and property is not sufficient to justify the use of National Guard members in the relevant area for precisely that purpose,” Alito wrote, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas.
- Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote a separate dissent, contending that the challengers to the National Guard deployment – the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago – had forfeited the argument about the meaning of “regular forces” by failing to present that issue in the lower courts.
- Trump contends military force is needed to protect federal immigration agents from what he claims are violent protests.

cause the President to use the US military more than the National Guard”. The Supreme Court just admitted that Trump has the authority to invoke the Insurrection Act to bypass Posse Comitatus and send the troops to Chicago, and any other city he wants. Trump tried to exhaust every legal avenue possible before resulting to the Insurrection Act, but the Dems resisted and refused to cooperate. Sounds to me like Trump just got the green light. INVOKE THE INSURRECTION ACT!
Trump could have invoked the Insurrection Act at any moment. The reason for waiting is a matter of timing and public perception.
Signing an order is the easy part.
Convincing 340 million Americans that we are compromised from within and the US MIL need to secure our cities, THAT’S the hard part. Especially when the MSM are compromised and telling the public that Trump is literally Hitler and is going to unleash a military dictatorship.
This had to be done delicately, as not to cause panic.
The public must be psychologically prepared. That’s why Trump has been giving us soft disclosure about the Insurrection Act for a long time. They have been mentally preparing us for what they knew had to be done, by showing us why it needed to be done.
Here he is back in September addressing all his Generals, and reminded them how Washington and Lincoln used the military to keep the peace.
This was always the plan.
