Supreme Court Refuses to Allow #Trump to Deploy #NationalGuard in #Chicago

"The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to allow President Trump to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops in the Chicago area over the objection of Illinois officials, casting doubt on the viability of similar deployments in other American cities.

"The justices’ order is preliminary, but it blocks the Trump administration for now from ordering the state-based military force to the Chicago area, where an immigration crackdown led to thousands of arrests and confrontations between residents and federal agents.

"In its temporary ruling against the administration, the court refused to grant the president broad discretion to deploy the military in U.S. cities. It represented a rare departure from recent cases, in which the conservative majority has overwhelmingly sided with Mr. Trump in preliminary tests of presidential power.

"At this stage in the litigation, the court said the Trump administration had not shown that the statute at issue 'permits the president to federalize the Guard in the exercise of inherent authority to protect federal personnel and property in Illinois.'

"Three conservative justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Neil M. Gorsuch — noted their dissents."

This is what civil society, in particular the #DigitalRights community, is up against now: #Trump has barred leaders of @hateaid, the Global #Disinformation Index, and the Centre for Countering Digital Hate from entering the US. Expect more restrictions, threats, and intimidation against public-interest NGOs globally.

” – Jos katsoo Grönlantia ja sen rannikkoa ylös ja alas, siellä on venäläisiä ja kiinalaisia aluksia joka puolella. Tarvitsemme sen kansallisen turvallisuuden vuoksi. Meidän on saatava se, Trump sanoi.”

Jälleen kerran esimerkki, miten ”kansallista turvallisuutta” käytetään kyseenalaisen politiikan oikeuttamiseksi. Kaava on turhankin tuttu autoritaarisista valtioista.

Myös Suomessa käytetään tätä korttia välillä, valitettavasti.

Jennifer Rubin says a lesson 2025 taught is is that "religious appeals do not work with White Christian nationalists. As we have discussed many times, White Christian nationalists generally do not seem interested in good works, helping the most vulnerable, or personal character. This is a movement seeking power, not redemption. Its adherents are motivated to remake America into a white, Christian dominated nation."
