Trump Begs Supreme Court to Let Him Go to War With Chicago

President Donald Trump has demanded that the Supreme Court decide whether he can deploy the National Guard in Chicago after two lower courts ruled against him.

On Friday, the 79-year-old president filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court saying that the decisions from Judge April Perry of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, which block his attempt to send the military into Illinois to quell ICE protestors, “improperly impinge on the president’s authority and needlessly endanger federal personnel and property.”

The Trump administration is trying to argue that protest of ICE activity in Chicago amounts to an insurrection. He has been struck down by two courts.  / Chicago Tribune / TNS
