Supreme Court rejects Trump’s bid to deploy National Guard in Illinois
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday rebuffed the Trump administration over its plan to deploy National Guard troops in Illinois over the strenuous objections of local officials.
The court in an unsigned order turned away an emergency request made by the administration, which said the troops are needed to protect federal agents involved in immigration enforcement in the Chicago area.
Although the decision is a preliminary one involving only Chicago, it will likely bolster similar challenges made to National Guard deployments in other cities, with the opinion setting significant new limits on the president’s ability to do so.
The decision marked a rare defeat for President Donald Trump at the Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, after the administration secured a series of high-profile wins this year.
In doing so, the court at least provisionally rejected the Trump administration’s view that the situation on the ground is so chaotic that it justifies invoking a federal law that allows the president to call National Guard troops into federal service in extreme situations.
Those circumstances can include when “there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion” or “the president is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States.”
The court ruled against the administration on a threshold question, finding that the law’s reference to the “regular forces” only allows for the National Guard to be called up if regular military forces are unable to restore order.
The court order said that Trump could only call up the military where they could “legally execute the laws” and that power is limited under another law called the Posse Comitatus Act.
“At this preliminary stage, the Government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois,” the court said.
As a result, the Trump administration has failed to show that the National Guard law “permits the President to federalize the Guard in the exercise of inherent authority to protect federal personnel and property in Illinois,” the court added.
The decision saw the court’s six conservative justices split, with three in the majority and three in dissent. The court’s three liberals were in the majority.
The dissenters were Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.
“I have serious doubts about the correctness of the court’s views. And I strongly disagree with the manner in which the court has disposed of this application,” Alito wrote in a dissenting opinion.
“There is no basis for rejecting the President’s determination that he was unable to execute the federal immigration laws using the civilian law enforcement resources at his command,” he added.
Trump’s unusual move to deploy the National Guard, characteristic of his aggressive and unprecedented use of executive power, was based on his administration’s stated assessment that the Chicago area was descending into lawless chaos.
That view of protests against surging immigration enforcement actions in Chicago is rejected by local officials as well as judges who have ruled against the administration.
The deployment was challenged in court by the Democratic-led state of Illinois and the city of Chicago, with their lawyers saying Trump had an ulterior motive for the deployment: to punish his political opponents.
They argued in court papers that Trump’s invocation of the federal law was not justified and that his actions also violated the Constitution’s 10th Amendment, which places limits on federal power, as well as the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally bars the military from conducting law enforcement duties.
U.S. District Judge April Perry said she “found no credible evidence that there is a danger of rebellion” and issued a temporary restraining order in favor of the state.
The Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals largely reached the same conclusion, saying “the facts do not justify the president’s actions.”
The court did narrow Perry’s order, saying that Trump could federalize the troops, but could not deploy them.
The Supreme Court has frequently ruled in Trump’s favor in recent months as the administration has rushed to the justices when policies are blocked by lower courts.
Trump’s efforts to impose federal control over cities led by Democrats who vociferously oppose his presidency are not just limited to Chicago. He has also sought to deploy the National Guard in the District of Columbia, Los Angeles and Portland, Oregon.
Most recently, hundreds of National Guard troops deployed in Illinois and Oregon were set to return to their home states.
The deployment in the District of Columbia, which is a federal enclave with less local control, has been challenged in court, but there has been no ruling yet.
A federal appeals court allowed the Los Angeles deployment, and a different panel of judges on Oct. 20 ruled similarly in relation to Portland.
Illinois
Tucked Between Rockford And Chicago Is An Under-The-Radar Park With Trails And Ethereal Beauty – Islands
The northeastern quadrant of Illinois is one of the most urbanized corners of America. Chicagoland sprawls across the state from the shores of Lake Michigan, and around 60 miles to the west sits Rockford, another of Illinois’ largest cities. But that’s not to say the region is devoid of nature. Coral Woods Conservation Area, a lovely stretch of woodland and hiking trails nestled between the two major cities, is proof.
The woodland has a cozy aesthetic; it’s the kind of place you’d expect anthropomorphic animals to go on adventures in a children’s picture book. But it’s also a significant location for oak tree conservation. Coral Woods is populated by red and white oaks and is one of the largest groves of continuous oak woodland in the county — though it also has a sugar maple grove with trees as ancient as 100 years old. Aside from being pretty to look at, especially in fall, the trees provide a habitat for a diverse array of birds, and in the spring, the underbrush is vibrant with wildflowers.
The best way to experience the park is along its gentle hiking trails. The three marked, interlocking trails in the woodland are quite short, but you can combine them to increase your step count — you may also include pit stops for a picnic or birdwatching. Many hiker reviews also mention how quiet the trail is, with one reviewer describing it as a hidden gem. However you decide to approach Coral Woods, it’s a great rural escape from the bustle of Chicago, and it will surely appeal to nature lovers visiting Rockford, Illinois’ City of Gardens.
Exploring the Coral Woods trails
As mentioned, there are three trails carving through the woodland, all starting from the parking lot. One is a nature trail that loops through the oaks for 1.2 miles and briefly skirts the edge of a pond. Another trail, also 1.2 miles, passes through the oak woodland and traverses a prairie-grass meadow. This trail turns into a cross-country ski trail in winter. There’s also a short 0.4-mile trail looping the old sugar maple grove (you’ll find a picnic area here). A longer, 1.9-mile route is marked out on AllTrails, which basically circumnavigates the area.
There are plenty of things to keep a lookout for when walking through Coral Woods. The oaks, sugar maples, and hickories in the park all shed their leaves in autumn, painting the conservation area in fiery hues. Hikers are particularly taken by Coral Woods when the leaves are changing color, recommending it as the best time to visit. Mid-October is usually peak fall foliage season in this part of Illinois, but if you want to time your visit perfectly, consult the best fall foliage resources, including GPS apps and weather websites.
Spring is a great time to walk the trails, too, when wildflowers with eccentric names — sharp-lobed hepatica, Jack-in-the-pulpit, toothwort, bloodroot, and blue phlox — bloom throughout the woodland. Aside from nominal intrigue, it’s a quite beautiful range of flora. Jack-in-the-pulpits are curling and lizard-like; the phlox are bluish and fragrant; and the hepaticas have sharp, white-marbled petals. Flitting between the oaks and the wildflowers, you might spot warblers, woodpeckers, finches, jays, robins, and bluebirds, among other avian species. Park authorities are trying to entice more bluebirds into the region with nesting boxes along the edge of the prairie.
Getting to Coral Woods
Given that it’s sandwiched between two of Illinois’ major urban centers, Coral Woods is super accessible. It’s about a 75-minute drive from downtown Chicago. If you’re coming from O’Hare, America’s most connected airport, you’ll skip the downtown traffic and shorten your journey to about 45 minutes. Rockford is also about 45 minutes by car from Coral Woods.
Coral Woods is open daily from sunrise to sunset, though there’s a possibility it can close for a short period in early spring or late fall when the conservation district carries out controlled burns to help maintain the ecosystem. See the McHenry County controlled burn map for up-to-date info. If you want to use the sheltered picnic area, it’s best to reserve a table, especially on weekends during fall foliage season. You’ll find restrooms and an info board, marking out the hiking trails and sharing information on the park’s history and wildlife, by the parking lot.
