Trump gets partial win in bid to deploy National Guard to Chicago

Published



President Donald Trump was handed a partial legal win on Saturday after an appeals court allowed him to reassume control over the National Guard, as he looks to deploy troops to Chicago to quell riots and protests at a nearby ICE facility.

In a one-page order, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit granted an administrative stay on part of an earlier ruling that blocked the Trump administration’s federalization of the National Guard, which restores Trump’s control over those troops. However, the court denied the same request for a stay on the part that blocked their deployment, meaning they can’t actually be deployed to Illinois.
