Trump agrees to extend judge’s block on deploying National Guard as Supreme Court weighs case

Article Summary

The Trump administration on Tuesday agreed to a 30-day extension on a judge’s temporary restraining order prohibiting the deployment of the National Guard to Chicago.

The agreement follows the administration’s emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court on late last week asking the justices to stay U.S. District Judge April Perry’s Oct. 9 restraining order.

The 7 th Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the part of Perry’s ruling blocking the deployment of the National Guard, writing that “political opposition is not rebellion.” But the Trump administration argues that a president’s military actions are not subject to judicial review.
