Trump Asks Supreme Court to Let Him Deploy Troops in Chicago

President Donald Trump asked the US Supreme Court to let him immediately deploy National Guard troops in Chicago, escalating a high-stakes clash over his use of the military in American cities.

The emergency request Friday follows a federal appeals court decision Thursday refusing to let Trump deploy the troops but saying they would remain under the control of the federal government for the time being.
