One should assume ALL National Guard Troops WILL be return to the control of their Governors?
he Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled President Trump may not deploy the National Guard to the Chicago area for now amid his push for military troops to patrol the streets of Democratic-led cities, a major loss for the president at the high court.
After more than two months of consideration, the court refused to pause a district judge’s ruling temporarily blocking hundreds of National Guard members from being federalized and deployed across Illinois, rejecting the government’s emergency request in an apparent 6–3 ruling…

More Details on the case….
The Supreme Court on Tuesday left in place a ruling by a federal judge in Chicago that bars the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops in Illinois. In a three-page unsigned order, the justices turned down the government’s request to put the temporary restraining order issued by U.S. District Judge April Perry on Oct. 9 on hold while litigation continues in the lower courts. “At this preliminary stage,” the court said, “the Government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois.” It was the second loss for the Trump administration before the court in only four days.
Three justices dissented from Tuesday’s order. Justice Samuel Alito, in a 16-page decision joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, wrote that “[w]hatever one may think about the current administration’s enforcement of the immigration laws or the way ICE has conducted its operations, the protection of federal officers from potentially lethal attacks should not be thwarted.”
Justice Neil Gorsuch indicated that he too would have granted the government’s request.
Although the dispute came to the Supreme Court in its preliminary stages, the case was an important test of the president’s power to send National Guard troops, who are normally controlled by the states, into U.S. cities. President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy National Guard troops to the Chicago area, announced in early October, followed the use of National Guard troops in other major cities with Democratic mayors, including Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. In deploying the National Guard, Trump cited the need to fight crime or assist federal officials in enforcing immigrations laws….

New Orleans gets Louisiana National Guard Troops…
The National Guard is deploying to New Orleans in the latest of President Trump’s moves to send federal troops to back up local law enforcement across the country.
The latest: The deployment of 350 troops will begin in time for the new year and last through February, Gov. Jeff Landry (R) announced Tuesday during an appearance on Fox News.
The big picture: The National Guard’s arrival in New Orleans comes as the city marks the first anniversary of the Bourbon Street terrorist attack that killed 14 people.
- That attack, which was quickly followed by New Orleans hosting the Super Bowl and the city’s Mardi Gras festivities, prompted a weeks-long similar deployment.
- With the return of the Jan. 1 Sugar Bowl and the arrest of a New Iberia man whom the FBI said was planning a New Orleans attack, authorities have asked federal approval on an increased security rating, Fox 8 reports.
- Still, local leaders have been quick to note that violent crime rates remain significantly down. New Orleans’ murder rate, for example, is on track this year to be at its lowest since the 1970s.
State of play: In a shift from similar deployments elsewhere, Landry proactively requestedthat National Guard troops be used in Louisiana to back up local enforcement….
