The Supreme Court's statement on Tuesday marked a setback for President Donald Trump, who had issued an order to deploy National Guard forces to support operations against immigrants.

Federal district judge April Perry had previously blocked the order to deploy forces in Chicago, Illinois, and other locations. An appeals court had opted not to challenge the federal judge's decision in October.

Following this, the Trump administration decided to file an emergency request to the Supreme Court to overturn the decision. However, two months later, a Supreme Court judge declined to address the request, meaning the previous decision stands.

According to Trump, National Guard troops from Texas had previously been sent to Chicago to maintain law and order. Both the mayor of Chicago and the governor of Illinois, both Democrats, described the move as both dangerous and illegal.
