A federal judge in Chicago who had already blocked deployment of National Guard troops to the Chicago area for two weeks agreed to extend that order this week.
On Wednesday, Judge April Perry extended her order by 30 days, but she said each party could discuss the extension further before meeting again at 3 p.m. CT, noting they would not be able to issue another one.
Still, anything she does could be moot if the U.S. Supreme Court rules in the meantime.
Attorneys representing the Trump administration said in court filings Tuesday that they would agree to possibly extend the block on deployment for 30 days. However, they are continuing to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene. The Trump administration is pressing for an emergency order that would let Guard troops be deployed.
“Every day this improper TRO remains in effect imposes grievous and irreparable harm on the Executive,” Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote in a Supreme Court filing Tuesday.
Lawyers representing Chicago and Illinois have asked the Supreme Court to continue to block the deployment, calling it a “dramatic step.”
Chicago isn’t the only city where National Guard deployment remains in limbo.
A federal appeals court is hearing arguments in California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s challenge to the deployment of troops in Los Angeles. Guard troops could also soon be on the ground in Portland, Oregon, pending legal developments there.
In Portland, an appeals court said Monday that Trump could take command of 200 Oregon National Guard troops, but a separate court order still blocks him from actually deploying them.
U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, issued two temporary restraining orders earlier this month. One prohibited Trump from calling up the Oregon troops so he could send them to Portland. The other prohibited him from sending any Guard members to Oregon at all after he tried to evade the first order by deploying California troops instead.
The Justice Department appealed the first order, and in a 2-1 ruling Monday, a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel sided with the administration.
However, Immergut’s second order remains in effect, so no troops may immediately be deployed.
The case is still before the courts.
