Supreme Court of the United States

Trump v. Illinois

December 23, 2025

Summary

The Court held that the term “regular forces” in 10 U.S.C. §12406(3) refers to the regular U.S. military, not civilian law‑enforcement officers, and therefore the President had not satisfied the statutory requirement to be “unable with the regular forces to execute the laws.” Consequently, the Government’s application for a stay of the district court’s temporary restraining order was denied.
