Trump asks Supreme Court to allow National Guard deployment in Illinois
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Friday asked the US Supreme Court to allow it to deploy National Guard troops in Illinois after lower courts blocked the move, according to US media reports.The request follows weeks of protests in Chicago against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, where President Donald Trump has described the city as a “war zone.”The administration said it had already federalized 300 members of the Illinois National Guard and sent more than 200 guardsmen from Texas and California to support operations.In an emergency filing, Solicitor General D.
