The Trump administration will be allowed to continue its National Guard deployment in D.C. pending another appeals court decision.
This means the mission could extend past the previous Dec. 11 deadline set by a lower court.

National Guard can stay in D.C. for now, appeals court says
A judge had ruled last month that Trump’s National Guard deployment in D.C. was unlawful. An appeals court is still considering the administration’s request to allow it to continue.

I am so happy to see a judge recognize that the Trump Administration's racial profiling, harassment, and kidnapping of Latino and immigrant Washingtonians is blatantly illegal. We must put an end to this inhumane attack on our city, and this is a good first step
A federal judge ruled that federal agents have to scale back the warrantless arrests of immigrants that have been happening in D.C.
“They’ve been roaming around arresting people who appear Latino without any regard of who they are," says an attorney.
