Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice filed for an immediate stay of the 7th Circuit of U.S. District Judge April Perry's ruling issuing a temporary restraining order in the Illinois case about the National guard deployments.
The TRO blocks federal troops from deploying in Illinois, which was expected to to include National Guard members being stationed at the Broadview ICE facility to assist federal agents.
As the judges denied the appeal, the TRO now remains.

Last week, the Guard arrived at the Broadview immigration facility on Thursday. Troops could be seen walking around and lingering near the facility.
The Trump administration has argued that the bolstered military presence is needed to protect federal property and employees. But the judge said the government's claims about an out-of-control public on the brink of rebellion were not credible.
