National Guard troops sent to Illinois by President Donald Trump can stay in the state and under federal control, but can’t be deployed to protect federal property or go on patrol for now, an appeals court ruled Saturday.

President Trump's National Guard deployments in Oregon and Illinois will be tested in court hearings scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 9.

The judge says allowing troops in the state would only ‘add fuel to the fire’, after actions by ICE agents prompted protests in the city.
