Breaking News: Supreme Court Blocks Trump's National Guard Plan

The US Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump, blocking his plan to send National Guard troops into Illinois over the objections of the governor. The court's decision comes on December 23, 2025, in a highly anticipated ruling.

President Trump had sought to federalize the National Guard to quell what he claimed was unremitting violence against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at detention facilities in the Chicago area. However, two lower courts had previously ruled against Trump's claim, stating that the protests did not constitute a "rebellion or danger of rebellion" against the US government.

The Supreme Court's decision is a significant blow to the Trump administration, which had argued that it needed to take drastic measures to protect ICE agents. The ruling is also a rare instance of the conservative Supreme Court ruling against Trump since he began his second term as president.

The immediate impact of the decision is that the National Guard will not be deployed to Illinois, at least for now. The court's ruling is a preliminary one, and the case is likely to continue in the coming days and weeks.
