Trump Administration Appeals to Supreme Court Over National Guard Deployment

The Trump administration has filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court seeking to overturn lower court rulings that blocked the deployment of federalized National Guard troops to Chicago. Solicitor General D. John Sauer submitted the appeal, arguing that troops are necessary to address what the administration describes as risks to federal agents' safety. This marks the first time the administration has directly appealed to the Supreme Court regarding National Guard deployment to a major city.
