A federal appeals court has overturned part of a lower court's decision, allowing the federalization of National Guard troops in Illinois.
However, the court ruled that these troops cannot be deployed while the case is ongoing.
The federal government may further appeal the temporary restraining order issued by Judge Perry.
Protestors clashed with authorities over the weekend, and other lawsuits are ongoing after a series of hearings last week.
Author's summary: Court allows federalization but blocks deployment.
