The justices declined the #Trump administration’s emergency request to overturn a ruling by U.S. District Judge April Perry that had blocked the deployment of troops. An appeals court also had refused to step in. #SCOTUS took more than two months to act.

The high court order is not a final ruling but it could affect other lawsuits challenging Trump’s attempts to deploy the #military in other #Democratic-led #US #cities.

“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 in its unsigned order.

And of course, Conservative Justices Samuel #Alito, #ClarenceThomas & Neil #Gorsuch dissented.

@Nonilex I set that precedent that the federal agency police are not 'regular forces'. That's a big deal to me.
