BROADVIEW, Ill. (WLS) — The Trump administration is seeking an immediate legal intervention from an appeals court after a judge’s decision this week halted the National Guard’s deployment in Illinois.

The appeal follows almost a day after a federal judge ordered that the metal barrier outside the Broadview Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility should be removed by the beginning of next week.

On Saturday morning, faith leaders are planning to march to that facility.

The Justice Department claims the National Guard’s presence is necessary for the protection of federal officers amid potential violent threats, describing Judge April Perry’s decision to issue the temporary restraining order as “extraordinary.”

In her ruling, Judge Perry argued that deploying the National Guard might escalate into civil disturbances, supporting her decision to grant the restraining order requested by the state.

Meanwhile, Friday marked another day of anti-ICE demonstrations near the Broadview facility.

Throughout the day, large groups gathered in protest, though officials reported the arrest of at least four individuals for interfering with law enforcement.

Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth were turned away from trying to visit the Broadview facility on Friday.

Separately, another judicial ruling supported the village of Broadview’s request for a temporary restraining order, mandating the removal of a fence erected by federal agents that obstructs a nearby street.

The government has until 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday to take that fence down.

ABC7 is expecting the faith community to step off at 10 a.m. from St. Eulalia Catholic Church before heading to the Broadview facility.

The goal is to attempt to deliver communion people who may be being held at the facility.

Broadview’s mayor is also expected to walk.
