The Supreme Court has declined to set aside a lower court ruling against Trump’s deploying the National Guard in Chicago.  SCOTUSblog has the whole story.  This could affect a similar case re Portland which has been on hold pending a decision about Chicago.

It was apparently a 6-3 ruling with Alito, Thomas and Gorsuch dissenting.

This was a shadow docket thing, so they could change their minds when the case comes up on the merits docket.  We’ll see…

One thing that jumped out at me, although it’s probably the least important point about the case, is the question of whether “regular forces” means the U.S. military or civilian police forces.  When I was serving in the USAF during the Vietnam war, “regular Air Force” was always meant to refer to career folks as opposed to reservists.
