A federal appeals court handed the Trump administration a win Wednesday evening, pausing a lower judge’s order mandating daily court appearances for a top Border Patrol official to give updates about immigration operations in Chicago .

The move came shortly after the Justice Department sought what’s known as a writ of mandamus to strike U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis’s Tuesday order, which demanded Border Patrol commander-at-large Greg Bovino report to her daily at 5:45 p.m. each weekday to tell her how immigration operations went for the day. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit said the pause would remain in effect while it considers the writ of mandamus.
