Breaking: Supreme Court Denies Emergency Block on National Guard Deployment in Chicago
The supreme Court declined on Tuesday to permit the Trump governance to send National Guard troops to the Chicago area as part of its immigration crackdown. The decision leaves in place a ruling by U.S. District Judge April Perry blocking the deployment, after an appeals court had also refused to intervene. The court took more than two months to act.
Three justices – Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch – publicly dissented. While not a final ruling, the order could affect other lawsuits challenging the administration’s efforts to mobilize the military in Democratic-led cities.
The outcome marks a rare setback for the administration, wich has won several emergency appeals in recent months. The court’s conservative majority has allowed actions on issues ranging from transgender service members to large-scale federal spending and immigration enforcement.
The administration had initially sought authorization to deploy troops from Illinois and Texas, but about 200 Texas National Guard troops were later sent home from Chicago.
the government argued the troops were needed to protect federal personnel and property from “violent resistance” to immigration enforcement.
Judge Perry, however, said she found no ample evidence of a “danger of rebellion” in illinois or that protests there had blocked enforcement efforts. She had blocked the deployment for two weeks and then extended the order indefinitely in October while the case moved through the courts.
Protests outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, Ill., have drawn national attention. Authorities recently arrested 21 protesters and reported four officers injured near the facility.
The Illinois case is one of several disputes over National Guard deployments.In the District of Columbia, the state attorney general is suing to halt more than 2,000 guardsmen in the capital. Forty-five states have filed briefs, with 23 backing the administration and 22 backing the attorney general’s lawsuit.
Meanwhile, more than 2,200 troops from several Republican-led states remain in Washington, D.C.,though the crime emergency declared in August ended a month later. Oregon has permanently blocked deployments, and California’s deployment was ruled illegal by a state judge; 200 California troops were being sent home from Oregon as part of those rulings. A Tennessee state court ruled in favor of officials seeking to stop the Memphis deployment. The administration has appealed California and Oregon decisions to the Ninth Circuit.
