WASHINGTON, United States, Dec 24, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - The US Supreme Court dealt a blow to President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown on Tuesday by blocking his deployment of National Guard troops in Chicago. After two lower courts blocked Trump from sending troops into Chicago, his administration made an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court rebuff of the emergency appeal was a rare defeat for Trump at the top court, where conservatives hold a 6-3 majority. It was not immediately clear how Tuesday's decision would affect the other cases where Democratic-ruled states have challenged Trump's National Guard deployment. Some 300 National Guard troops remain activated in the Chicago area but are not engaged in operations.
