Appeals Court Ruling on National Guard Deployment
A federal appeals court has overturned part of a lower court's decision, allowing the federalization of National Guard troops in Illinois.
However, the court also stated that these troops cannot be deployed while the case is ongoing.
- Troops remain on the ground in Chicago but are blocked from being deployed.
- Protestors clashed with authorities over the weekend.
- Other lawsuits are ongoing after a series of hearings last week.
The order from the lower court blocking the deployment of troops remains in effect through next Thursday.
District Judge April Perry may extend this order, and federal officials could further appeal Perry’s temporary restraining order.
