US Appeals Court rejects National Guard deployment in Illinois while It reviews case

SUMMARY

A federal appeals court denied the Trump administration's request to pause a ruling blocking National Guard troop deployments in Illinois during an appeal. This ruling allows a temporary restraining order, issued by Judge April Perry, to remain effective until a hearing on October 22. Perry determined that immigration protests did not constitute a "rebellion" needing National Guard intervention. She expressed skepticism about federal claims that troops were required for protection and noted that their presence could escalate tensions. The administration plans to appeal further, but troops in Illinois will not be sent home until ordered.
