The US Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a request by President Donald Trump<\/a> to allow the deployment of National Guard troops to Illinois.<\/p>\n

Trump had sought an overruling of an order by a lower court<\/a> that temporarily halted his plans<\/a> to send the military reserve force to the state.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The US president already sent troops to several cities across the country in recent months.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His adminstration has insisted that such\u00a0deployments were necessary to protect immigration officers<\/a> amid protests against their raids.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

What does the ruling mean?<\/p>\n

The Republican<\/a>-majority court said that the government had “failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois.”<\/p>\n

However, Trump still has a few legal options to go around the court to deploy troops to Chicago, although that could pose a political risk.<\/p>\n

Tuesday’s court decision could affect other lawsuits challenging Trump’s attempts to deploy the military in other Democratic-led<\/a> cities.<\/p>\n

The ruling also marks a rare Supreme Court setback for Trump, after repeated wins in emergency appeals since he took office again in January.<\/p>\n

What was the reaction?\u00a0<\/p>\n

White House<\/a> spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said the president “activated the National Guard to protect federal law enforcement officers, and to ensure rioters did not destroy federal buildings and property.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Nothing in today’s ruling detracts from that core agenda,” Jackson said.<\/p>\n

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, a Democrat, called the ruling a “big win for Illinois and American democracy.”<\/p>\n

“This is an important step in curbing the Trump Administration’s consistent abuse of power and slowing Trump’s march toward authoritarianism,” Pritzker said.<\/p>\n
