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 ruled that these troops cannot be deployed while the case is ongoing.
- Troops remain on the ground in Chicago but are blocked from deployment.
- A lower court's order blocking deployment remains in effect until next Thursday.
- District Judge April Perry may extend the order.
The federal government may further appeal Perry's temporary restraining order.
Protestors clashed with authorities over the weekend, and other lawsuits are ongoing.
