The move comes after the court had previously frozen the same order while it weighed whether to extend the pause for a longer period of time, with Trump now permitted to keep members of the National Guard in D.C. through the end of February.
The appeals court determined that the city’s unique status as a federal district created by Congress makes it likely that Trump will be successful in a lawsuit brought by D.C.’s attorney general over the deployment of Guardsmen in the nation’s capital and other states, according to the order.
