The decision largely upholds a lower court’s halt on the mobilisation ordered by President Donald Trump as part of his mass deportation campaign.
The Trump administration had appealed the lower court ruling arguing the troops are necessary to protect immigration agents and facilities in Chicago.
The deployment in Chicago involves 200 National Guard troops from Texas and 300 from Illinois according to US Army Northern Command.
Regarding a similar troop deployment in Democratic-ruled Portland Oregon a three-member appeals court panel was considering whether to lift another judge’s temporary block.
They follow California which sued the Trump administration after the National Guard was deployed in Los Angeles earlier this year.
Local and state leaders called the deployment an unnecessary escalation of force.
Activist groups have warned residents about sweeps in neighborhoods like Cicero Little Village and Pilsen.
Recent protests at an ICE facility in the Chicago suburb of Broadview have led to protesters being beaten tear-gassed and arrested. – AFP
