Court: National Guard troops sent to Illinois by Trump can stay but can’t be deployed for now – WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports
CHICAGO (AP) — National Guard troops sent to Illinois by President Donald Trump can stay in the state and under federal control, but can’t be deployed to protect federal property or go on patrol for now, an appeals court ruled Saturday.
The decision comes after federal Judge April Perry on Thursday ruled to temporarily block the National Guard deployment for at least two weeks, finding no substantial evidence that a “danger of rebellion” is brewing in Illinois during Trump’s immigration crackdown.
The appeals court on Saturday granted a pause in the case until it can hear further arguments.
