Could Donald Trump use this little-known law to unleash another ICE crackdown in major US city?

A recent Supreme Court ruling raised some eyebrows (Picture: AFP)

A US Supreme Court Justice appears to have signalled that Donald Trump could use an act from 1807 to deploy troops to US cities.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh, along with other members of the Supreme Court, rejected the President’s appeal to send further ‘forces’ to Chicago, which has been in Trump’s line of fire since he retook office in January.

ICE has already been deployed in Chicago, where its officers have faced pushback from locals.
