Overview

• The Chicago-based appeals court on Saturday largely upheld a lower-court injunction that bars National Guard troops from deploying on city streets, though the forces may remain in the region.
• Judges allowed the federal government to assert control over the Illinois Guard in principle but kept any operational use suspended pending further proceedings.
• U.S. District Judge April Perry issued a two-week preliminary injunction on Thursday after finding no credible proof of a claimed danger of rebellion in Illinois.
• Roughly 500 Guard members are in the Chicago area, including about 200 from Texas and 300 from Illinois, according to military statements.
• Illinois and Chicago sued to stop the deployment as the administration cited protection of ICE personnel and facilities in Broadview, with CNN reporting video that appeared to show limited patrols at an ICE site.
