""The Supreme Court essentially has said two things here. It said that the president can federalize deploy the National Guard, but only if the U.S. military has the authority to enforce the laws in question in the first place and otherwise is unable to enforce them. And the Supreme Court saying these are not the kinds of laws that the U.S. military is generally authorized to enforce,""
""I am glad the Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump did not have the authority to deploy the federalized guard in Illinois. This is an important step in curbing the Trump Administration's consistent abuse of power and slowing Trump's march toward authoritarianism. American cities, suburbs, and communities should not have to faced masked federal agents asking for their papers, judging them for how they look or sound, and living in fear that President can deploy the military to their streets.""
The Supreme Court declined to permit the Trump administration to deploy federalized National Guard troops in the Chicago area to support an immigration crackdown. The justices denied an emergency request to overturn U.S. District Judge April Perry's order blocking the deployment; an appeals court had also refused to intervene. The court's order is not final but could influence other lawsuits over military deployments in Democratic-led cities. Legal analysis noted the president may federalize the Guard only when the U.S. military has authority to enforce the laws and is otherwise unable to do so, and that immigration laws are generally not within military enforcement authority. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker called the decision a win and condemned using federalized guards for political theater, saying communities should not face masked federal agents.
