The Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked the Trump administration’s deployment of hundreds of National Guard troops to the Chicago area. The high court sided with U.S. District Judge April Perry, who first blocked the deployment of troops to Illinois back in October. In a 6-3 decision, the majority wrote, “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.” Illinois Governor JB Pritzker hailed the ruling as “a big win for Illinois and American democracy.”

Just minutes after the Supreme Court blocked President Trump’s deployment of federal troops to Chicago, Louisiana’s Republican Governor Jeff Landry announced that 350 National Guard troops will arrive in New Orleans before New Year’s Eve and will stay through February. The troops are expected to join Border Patrol agents who have been cracking down on immigrants in New Orleans.
