Appeals Court Ruling on National Guard Deployment
A recent ruling has forbidden the White House from deploying National Guard troops on Chicago's streets. This decision comes after the Trump administration attempted to use troops in Illinois.
State and local officials filed a lawsuit against federal officials, alleging that the move to deploy National Guard troops was "unlawful and dangerous". The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had planned to deploy the troops to support Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in their "Operation Midway Blitz" effort.
The move was "unlawful and dangerous"
The ICE operation has reportedly led to over 1,000 arrests. This ruling marks another legal loss for the Trump administration.
Author's summary: Trump blocked from deploying troops.
