WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration on Friday asked the Supreme Court to allow the deployment of National Guard troops in the Chicago area, escalating President Donald Trump’s conflict with Democratic governors over using the military on U.S. soil.


Supreme Court: Sure Donald, whatever you want.
 
Presidents hold clear authority under 10 U.S.C. § 12406 to federalize the National Guard against domestic violence or invasion when states can't handle it. Chicago's escalating crime justifies intervention if local leaders fail. SCOTUS should prioritize constitutional order over judicial overreach; media framing this as a "power grab" ignores the law's intent to protect citizens.

Unconstitutional. And the fact the city and state object to Trump is even more important.
