The Supreme Court recently made a big decision. They said President Trump can't just send the National Guard to Chicago to help federal immigration agents. The court ruled that Trump didn't have the legal power to do this. This decision was a big loss for Trump. He believed he could send troops to cities to protect federal agents and property. But the court said no. They explained that the law only allows the president to use the National Guard if the regular military can't handle the situation. The court's decision was close. It was 6-3. Three conservative justices disagreed. They thought the president should have more power to protect federal agents.
The case started because of protests in Chicago. Some people were upset with how federal immigration agents were acting. The city said the police could handle the situation. But the Trump administration said the agents needed protection. The court's decision is important. It limits the president's power to use the military in cities. It also shows that the court is willing to check the president's authority. The decision might not be the final word. The case could go back to lower courts. But for now, the Supreme Court has said no to Trump's plan.
