Political opposition is not rebellion: Chicago appeals court leaves judge order barring National Guard deployment intact
(Chicago Tribune) Saying “political opposition is not rebellion,” a federal appeals court in Chicago on Thursday left intact a district judge’s order barring the president from deploying National Guard troops in the city and state pending the outcome of the appeal.
In its 18-page ruling, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the findings by U.S. District Judge April Perry were not “clearly erroneous” and that “the facts do not justify” President Donald Trump’s actions in Illinois.
The three-judge appellate panel unanimously agreed with Perry that even giving the president “great deference” when it comes to his power to call up the military, there was no evidence that he needed troops to help enforce immigration law or quell any kind of organized rebellion.
