Appeals Court Ruling on National Guard Deployment
A recent ruling has forbidden the White House from deploying National Guard troops on Chicago's streets.
The Trump administration's attempt to deploy National Guard troops in Illinois has been met with a lawsuit from state and local officials, who claim the move is "unlawful and dangerous."
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had said it was deploying the troops to support Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
- The deployment was intended to support "Operation Midway Blitz," an enforcement effort.
- The operation has led to over 1,000 arrests, according to DHS.
Author's summary: Trump's National Guard deployment plan rejected.
The ruling is the latest in a series of legal losses for the Trump administration.
