National Guard troops in Illinois can remain federalized but can’t be deployed, appeals court rules

The 7th Circuit court blocked National Guard deployment in Illinois but allowed federalization, affecting about 500 troops amid protests at federal facilities, as legal battles continue.

  • National Guard troops sent to Illinois by President Donald Trump can stay in the state and under federal control, but can't be deployed to protect federal property or go on patrol for now, an appeals court ruled Saturday.
  • The judge said there was significant evidence that federal agents have been able to carry out their work, noting huge increases in arrests and deportations.
  • Members of the National Guard do not need to return to their home states unless further ordered by a court to do so, the order says.
