A federal appeals court granted a request by the Trump administration to continue to allow for the deployment of the D.C. National Guard in the capital city on Thursday, temporarily halting a lower court’s previous order.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit granted an administrative stay of U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb’s November ruling that the deployment of the troops to the District of Columbia was unlawful. Cobb’s order to end the deployment by Dec. 11 has been paused as a result of the appeals court’s Thursday order.
