Appeals Court Issues Ruling on Deployment of Illinois National Guard, Parallel to Portland's Ongoing Case

The 7th Circuit court allowed federal control of Illinois National Guard but blocked their deployment amid disputes over state sovereignty and federal immigration enforcement.

  • On Saturday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit granted a partial stay allowing President Donald Trump to federalize the Illinois National Guard but denied their deployment across Illinois.
  • After DHS asked for aid following protests at an ICE center in Broadview, near Chicago, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth invoked federalization to mobilize up to 300 Illinois Guard members, prompting Illinois to sue.
  • The administration authorized roughly 300 Illinois National Guard troops and 200 Texas National Guard troops for a 60-day mission, citing assaults on federal personnel and damage to federal property.
  • The temporary restraining order runs at least until October 23, and a hearing on October 22 will consider extension; National Guard members in Illinois may remain but cannot perform law-enforcement duties.
  • Across the country, the fight has become a test of federal power and state sovereignty, with a coalition of 24 attorneys general and governors backing Illinois amid U.S. courts and circuit splits and talk of the Insurrection Act.
