Appeals court bars Trump from deploying National Guard in Illinois

A federal appeals court said Saturday that it will not allow President Donald Trump to deploy the National Guard in Illinois, largely preserving a ruling that had suspended his administration’s campaign to send troops into the Chicago area.The Chicago-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit, however, said that the president could federalize the Guard for now, as the appeals court said it will later decide on that question. It is unclear what the Guard will be doing without the ability to deploy.
