Appeals Court rejects Trump administration bid to lift TRO in Illinois’
(The Center Square) – The Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals has denied the portion of the Trump administration’s emergency motion filed Friday night seeking an immediate administrative stay to halt the temporary restraining order granted Thursday by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul said the appeals court order would keep troops off the streets of Chicago, Broadview or any other community in Illinois.
“This is a victory for our state. This is a victory for state and local law enforcement — who know their communities and who protect the right of their communities to speak truth to power,” Raoul said in a statement.
Last Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge April Perry granted the state of Illinois’ request for a temporary restraining order to prevent the Trump administration and the U.S. Army from deploying the National Guard in Illinois.
Perry’s ruling came after the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago filed a federal complaint against President Donald Trump, cabinet officials and the U.S. Army last Monday.
