Reference News Network, October 13 report. According to the Associated Press, on October 11, a U.S. appellate court ruled that the National Guard deployed by President Trump to Illinois can remain in the state and be under federal control, but cannot temporarily conduct activities to protect federal property or patrol.
The background of this ruling is that federal judge April Perry ruled on September 9 to suspend the deployment of the National Guard for at least two weeks, as there was no substantial evidence indicating that an "insurrection crisis" was brewing in Illinois during Trump's crackdown on immigration.
On October 11, the appellate court approved a suspension of the case to hear further evidence.
Trump insisted on deploying the National Guard to multiple U.S. cities, which has led to political and legal battles, causing the deployment plans to change repeatedly. The Trump administration claimed that crime was rampant in these cities, although statistical data may not support this claim.
If the president invokes the Insurrection Act, he can deploy active-duty troops in states where insurrection has not been quelled or where federal laws have been violated. However, Judge Perry stated that there was no substantial evidence of an "insurrection crisis" brewing in Illinois during Trump's crackdown on immigration.
She later cited legal and historical documents, including the Federalist Papers, written between 1787 and 1788 to promote the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, in an opinion issued on October 10.
She said: "There is currently no indication that civil authorities have failed. The lawbreakers who attacked federal law enforcement officers have been arrested, courts are open normally, and the marshals' office is ready to carry out any incarceration judgment. It is unnecessary to call upon the military to enforce the law." (Translated by Hu Guanghe)
