Lead plaintiff challenging Trump's National Guard deployment
The Supreme Court told President Trump he can't send National Guard troops to Illinois. The 6-3 decision on December 23 marks the first time the modern court has blocked a president from federalizing state Guard units over a governor's objections. Trump claimed protests at an ICE facility in suburban Chicago constituted a rebellion. The court wasn't buying it. In a significant concurrence, Justice Kavanaugh warned the ruling could force Trump to use regular military forces instead of the Guard, potentially escalating future deployments.
