Trump Pushes Supreme Court on Guard Deployment
Liberty Check
- Trump’s administration warns federal officers are at risk and need the National Guard’s protection from organized attacks.
- The administration argues that court interference undermines the President’s Commander-in-Chief authority over the military.
- The Seventh Circuit panel claimed there is insufficient proof protests have stopped federal agents from enforcing immigration laws, emphasizing that “political opposition is not rebellion.”
President Trump has urgently petitioned the Supreme Court to permit the deployment of the National Guard in Chicago, citing threats to the safety of federal personnel and a failure of local authorities to protect federal interests.
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals refused to stop a lower court order that blocks Trump from sending troops, escalating the constitutional debate over executive and judicial power.
Solicitor General John Sauer warned that if the lower court’s order stands,
“federal personnel in Chicago may be seriously harmed by violent anti-ICE agitators.”
This case underscores the critical constitutional issues at stake—federal authority, the separation of powers, and the fundamental duty of government to ensure peace and order.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
