In the case over Trump's National Guard deployment in and to Illinois, the Seventh Circuit grants a similar partial administrative stay while it considers DOJ's stay pending appeal:

The following are before the court: 1. EMERGENCY MOTION FOR STAY PENDING APPEAL AND IMMEDIATE ADMINISTRATIVE STAY, filed on October 10, 2025, by counsel for the appellants. 2. RESPONSE TO EMERGENCY MOTION FOR STAY PENDING APPEAL AND IMMEDIATE ADMINISTRATIVE STAY, filed on October 11, 2025, by counsel for the appellees.

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals PARTIALLY grants the stay sought by the Trump Administration.

The stay is GRANTED as to federalization of the National Guard.

But it is DENIED as to deployment.

So deployment still BLOCKED, but troops "do not need to return to their home states."

I surveyed over 300,000 of my constituents, and most of the respondents said they don’t approve of the National Guard being deployed to Portland. 

As I’ve said: we don’t need this, and we don’t want this.
