Trump Administration Appeals Supreme Court Ruling on Chicago National Guard

The Trump administration filed an emergency appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday, October 17, 2025, in an effort to overturn lower court rulings that have blocked the federalization and deployment of National Guard troops to the Chicago area. This action comes amid ongoing protests related to immigration enforcement.

A federal district judge had previously issued a temporary restraining order, citing a lack of sufficient evidence to support claims of a "danger of rebellion." An appeals court later partially lifted this block, allowing National Guard troops to remain in Illinois but prohibiting their active deployment. The White House argues that the deployment is necessary to protect federal personnel and assets.

This situation follows recent developments in other political matters, including Prince Andrew"s surrender of his Duke of York title and the disbandment of the New York State Young Republicans after leaked messages.
