What's the Latest on the National Guard in Chicago? About Appeals Court Ruling, Deployment
The court upheld a restraining order blocking National Guard deployment after Illinois and Chicago challenged claims of violent protests, keeping troops off the streets for at least 10 days.
- On Saturday, the Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals denied the Trump administration's emergency motion filed Friday to halt a temporary restraining order granted Thursday by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
- Illinois and the City of Chicago filed a federal complaint last Monday against President Donald Trump, cabinet officials and the U.S. Army, alleging the administration miscast mostly peaceful protests as violent.
- The mobilization that included hundreds of Texas guardsmen sent roughly 300 Illinois National Guard members and 200 Texas troops to Chicago for a 60-day activation, but soldiers were ordered last week to disengage with the White House appealing.
- The appeals court outcome keeps troops off the streets of Chicago, Broadview, or any Illinois community, and April Perry's order remains in effect until at least October 23.
- Paul Gowder said the decision risks a stark conflict between the president's use of troops and state governments, as the debate over states' rights versus federal power continues soon.
