A federal appeals court has ruled that US President Donald Trump's administration cannot deploy the National Guard in Illinois.
The Chicago-based US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit also ruled that the force could remain under federal control for now.
The decision partially upheld a lower court ruling that blocked the deployment of troops in the Chicago area, which said it was "likely to lead to civil unrest" and "only add fuel to the fire".
Trump has previously sent the National Guard to other Democratic-led cities, such as Los Angeles, Washington DC and Portland, Oregon.
He has argued troops were needed to crack down on illegal immigration and crime, but local officials have filed lawsuits accusing him of exceeding his legal authority.
The US military said this week there were 300 members of the Illinois National Guard and 200 members of the Texas National Guard activated in the Chicago area.
"Members of the National Guard do not need to return to their home states unless further ordered by a court to do so," Saturday's appeals court order said.
On Thursday, US District Court Judge April Perry granted a temporary restraining order blocking the troop deployment in Illinois.
The Biden appointee wrote: "I have seen no credible evidence that there has been rebellion in the state of Illinois."
Officials in Illinois and Chicago had sued the Trump administration, arguing the deployment was a "grave intrusion on Illinois' sovereignty".

“””A federal appeals court has ruled that US President Donald Trump’s administration cannot deploy the National Guard in Illinois.
The Chicago-based US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit also ruled that the force could remain under federal control for now. “””””””””
So he can’t deploy them but he can keep them there??????
“...it was “likely to lead to civil unrest” and “only add fuel to the fire”....”
Yabutt, is it legal or not?
When do the Judges get to effectuate executive action?
Deploy them to Indiana and then have them drive into Illinois.
No credible evidence there has been rebellion in Illinois?
How about the governor and mayor of Chicago issuing orders AGAINST the enforcement of immigration law by the United States government?
That is a FLAGRANT, OPEN rebellion ! ! !
“I have seen no credible evidence that there has been rebellion in the state of Illinois.”
Not their decision and will be swiftly overturned by the USSC.
Perhaps as soon as Monday.
But what has that got to do with whether it is legal or not?
Indeed.
This will continue until there is death.
I see... but what about the legality of it?!
Judges have no issue releasing repeat violent felons... does that not cause civil unrest (it certainly does for future victims) and add fuel to the fire of criminal conduct?!
Then send in the 101st AB, as Eisenhower did in the south.
Herd them with fixed bayonets, as the Screaming Eagles did.
>No, you can’t do that either. A guy in a gown
Time for martial law!
Cue District Judge Iwannabe ordering President Trump to not pay the military.
Why can’t they see how there is already “civil unrest” and that it happens every weekend? Halloween is on a Friday night this year!
That's right in the "likely to lead to civil unrest and only add fuel to the fire" clause of the US Constitution.
Maybe the stupid party could video the looting, arson, brawls, and submit as evidence to the courts. Oh wait, that would be logical.
I’m still waiting to see batons cracking skulls like in the old days of law enforcement. In 1963, Chicago’s Mayor Daly ordered his cops to shoot looters.
To badly quote a past president, “Court has made now made
a ruling, now let them enforce it”.
Fine. Move ICE out and let the rat infested Chicago rot. Just keep their lunatics away from civilization.
Appeal it to SCOTUS. This will obviously have to be smacked down.
I’m sorry President Eisenhower, you cannot deploy the military to Little Rock Arkansas, that would likely provoke unrest.
I’m sorry President Kennedy, you cannot deploy the military to the university of Mississippi because that would likely provoke unrest.
Yeah ummm.....no. Violent mobs do not get a heckler’s veto.
What don’t they understand about the term “commander in chief”?
