CHICAGO — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday dashed the hopes of those who believe immediately closing Chicago-area shipping locks could help prevent invasive Asian carp from infesting the Great Lakes, with justices once again refusing to order that emergency step.
It’s the second time the nation’s highest court rejected a request by Michigan to issue a preliminary injunction shutting the locks in the increasingly desperate battle against the voracious carp, which have migrated north up the Mississippi and Illinois rivers toward the lakes.
