A three-judge panel of the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said it had no evidence that federal law enforcement has been unable to enforce immigration laws.
“Immigration arrests and deportations have proceeded apace in Illinois over the past year, and the administration has been proclaiming the success of its current efforts to enforce immigration laws in the Chicago area,“ the court said.
The court did pause a portion of Perry’s order that had barred the federalization of Illinois National Guard troops, allowing the troops to remain under federal control.
In a statement, Abigail Jackson, a White House spokesperson, said the president had exercised his lawful authority to protect federal officers and assets.
Representatives for Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul did not immediately respond to requests for comment after the ruling.
In her October 9 order, Perry had found that immigration-related protests did not amount to a “rebellion” requiring National Guard intervention and entered the temporary restraining order.
It is set to expire on October 23, but Perry has scheduled a hearing for October 22 to consider whether it should be extended. In an extraordinary use of the U.S. armed forces for domestic purposes, Trump has sent National Guard troops into Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Memphis and Chicago, and announced plans for deployments to Portland. Democratic-led states, including Illinois, have filed lawsuits seeking to halt the deployments, and courts have not yet reached a final decision on Trump’s authority for military action within the United States. At the October 9 hearing, Perry questioned the credibility of the federal government’s arguments that Guard soldiers were needed to protect federal officers and property from demonstrators. JB Pritzker, the Democratic governor of Illinois, accused Trump of deliberately mischaracterizing small, mostly peaceful protests as violent and dangerous in order to justify National Guard deployments. Perry said the behavior of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers has prompted the protests, and deploying Guard soldiers to an ICE facility in the Chicago suburb of Broadview would “only add fuel to the fire that defendants themselves have started.” The Trump administration quickly appealed the order and had asked the appellate court for an emergency stay to immediately allow the deployment. - Reuters
