US EditionAppeals panel pauses order blocking Trump’s DC National Guard deployment
The appeals court cited the president’s unique authority and disruption to 2,300 National Guard troops as reasons to pause the order ending the deployment.
- A three-judge appeals panel on Wednesday stayed Judge Jia Cobb's Nov. 20 order, allowing the Guard to remain while the appeal proceeds.
- Judge Jia Cobb, U.S. District Court, ruled the deployment intruded on The District of Columbia’s authority, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said President Donald Trump may prevail on his unique power claim.
- Since August, the Guard has been stationed in Washington, and within a month more than 2,300 National Guard troops from eight states and the District patrolled under the Secretary of the Army's command.
- The ruling noted the court cited `disruption to the lives of thousands of service members` and the president’s interest in protecting federal governmental functions and property.
- The appeal remains active, as federal appeals judges allowed the National Guard to stay in Washington, D.C., while judges continue reviewing the deployment legality, the Associated Press and FOX 5 report.
