A federal appeals court rejected President Donald Trump ‘s bid to deploy the National Guard to Chicago , issuing an order on Thursday that downplayed the Trump administration’s claims of unrest over federal immigration operations in the city.

A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit declined to lift a lower district court’s ruling blocking the deployment of troops to Chicago, but it did continue to allow the federalization of the Illinois National Guard after lifting that part of the injunction over the weekend.
