NY Times - A federal appeals panel on Thursday agreed with a lower court judge who had blocked the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops to the Chicago area.
The 18-page preliminary ruling by a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit concurred with the reasoning of Judge April M. Perry of the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, who put a temporary block on deployments in her state on Oct. 8.
“The facts do not justify the president’s actions in Illinois” under the statute the Trump administration invoked in its attempt to deploy the National Guard, the appeals panel wrote, though it left open the possibility that could change in the future.
The decision means that National Guard troops cannot be stationed on the streets outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing center in Broadview, Ill., where protesters have gathered as the Trump administration has carried out an immigration crackdown in the Chicago area.
