Appeals court temporarily blocks deployment of National Guard troops in Chicago
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/national-guard-troops-in-chicago-update-appeals-court-temporarily-blocks-deployment/A federal appeals court Saturday blocked the deployment of National Guard troops in the Chicago area amid ongoing protests at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities that the Trump administration has vowed to crack down on. The court ruled, however, that the National Guard troops can remain under federal control.
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling from U.S. District Judge April Perry earlier this week denying a request from the White House to deploy National Guard troops on the streets of Chicago in response to a lawsuit brought by the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago.
However, it granted a request from the Trump administration to temporarily keep those National Guard troops under federal control, issuing an administrative stay to Perry's earlier ruling on the federalization issue.
"Amidst ongoing violent riots and lawlessness, that local leaders like (Illinois Gov. JB) Pritzker have refused to step in to quell, President Trump has exercised his lawful authority to protect federal officers and assets," White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told CBS News Saturday evening in response to the ruling. "President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities and we expect to be vindicated by a higher court."
