Trump's Guard Deployment: Supreme Court Weighs Presidential Power

The U.S. Department of Justice requests the Supreme Court to reconsider former President Trumps use of the Illinois National Guard for federal immigration enforcement in Chicago. The case revolves around the interpretation of a federal law that allows the president to call up the National Guard when regular forces cannot enforce laws. The Justice Department argues that regular forces does not include the standing military, while Illinois and Chicago officials contend that it does. The outcome could significantly impact a presidents power to use troops within the U.S., particularly for immigration enforcement. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered.
