JUST IN: Appeals Court Lifts Judge’s Order Blocking President Trump From Mobilizing National Guard Troops in Illinois

October 11, 2025

A federal appeals court on Saturday lifted a judge’s order blocking President Trump from federalizing National Guard Troops in Illinois.

A federal judge on Thursday issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) blocking President Trump’s National Guard deployment in Chicago.

US District Judge April Perry, a Biden appointee, said Trump’s troop deployment violates the Posse Comitatus Act as well as the 10th and 14th Amendments.

President Trump mobilized Texas National Guard Troops and sent them to Chicago to protect ICE agents from violent far-left Antifa terrorists.

“The National Guard’s mission in Chicago is to protect federal lives and property that are facing constant criminal assault. The guard protecting DHS is activated under *federal control* and therefore, like any federal troops, can emanate from any state if such resources prove necessary to DHS (the way troops are pulled from any base). They are operating as a federal force protecting federal assets,” White House Advisor Stephen Miller said.

The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on Saturday lifted Judge Perry’s Temporary Restraining Order on Trump’s mobilization of National Guard Troops.

However, the Seventh Circuit left in place Judge Perry’s block on troop deployment.

“Members of the National Guard do not need to return to their home states unless further ordered by a court to do so,” the judges said in a one-page order.

President Trump previously authorized troops to Portland, Oregon, and other Democrat-run cities to protect ICE agents from Antifa terrorists and other radical far-left groups.

“At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump previously said on Truth Social.

Last Saturday, Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, blocked President Trump’s National Guard deployment to Portland.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday unanimously voted to lift Judge Immergut’s Temporary Restraining Order on Trump’s mobilization of Oregon National Guard Troops.

However, the Ninth Circuit left in place Judge Immergut’s block on troop deployment.
