Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst. The National Guard troops in Illinois can remain under federal control and in the state, but they can't deploy, at least for now. That's according to the latest ruling in the ongoing legal fight over the Trump administration's use of National Guard troops. NPR's Shonda Lee Stuster has more.
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on Saturday temporarily paused the lower court's decision blocking the Trump administration from federalizing the National Guard in Illinois. The Trump administration on Friday had filed an emergency request, asking the appeals court to block the earlier decision and allow it to deploy the Guard in Illinois. Attorneys for the administration argue that the federal government will, quote, "...suffer irreparable harm if the appeals court did not block the decision." The appeals court ruled that while the National Guard can be under federal control, it cannot be deployed for action in the state while the case continues. It also said National Guard troops can stay in Illinois unless ordered by a court to leave.
Shondalese Duster, NPR News.
The Trump administration says it sent layoff notices to more than 4,000 federal workers, and it filed papers last night in response to a lawsuit brought by labor unions representing government workers. Meanwhile, the shutdown is now on its 11th day, with no apparent movement to resolve the impasse. NPR's Ron Elving has more.
People are feeling it at airports, in farm country, wherever people do business with the government in any way or depend on it in any way. Republicans had hoped those people would blame the Democrats and put pressure on them. Some do and some have. But polls show more people are blaming the president and his party.
What recent legal developments involve the National Guard in Illinois?
So can there be an end in sight? Yes, when both sides are willing to talk seriously about the coming cuts to health care.
And here's Ron Elving. In Mississippi, authorities are investigating two high school homecoming celebrations that turned deadly last night. At least six people were killed. Several others were injured in separate shootings. In Leland, four people were killed, about 20 injured after a football game. In Heidelberg, two people were killed during homecoming. No arrests have been made in either shooting. Thousands of Palestinians are returning to their homes in Gaza after Israeli troops withdrew to agreed-upon lines in President Trump's ceasefire plan. And for the first time in years, there are no daily bombardments or airstrikes. And Pirazan Asbaba has more from Gaza City.
Police have begun to reappear on the streets in small numbers. But their return doesn't necessarily signal the return of law and order or even the control on the ground. As of earlier this year, Gaza police reported that more than 1,400 officers were killed in Israeli airstrikes and attacks. As for Gaza people now, the return of police officers offers maybe a small sense of safety.
The U.N. says postal traffic to the U.S. is down about 70 percent five weeks after the Trump administration ended the de minimis exemption, which had spared low-value packages worth less than $800 from duties and taxes. Last month, the Universal Postal Union reported that 88 of its 192 member countries had suspended all or some postal services to the U.S. to adjust their shipping procedures, and only a handful have resumed operations to the U.S. Oscar-winning actor Diane Keaton has died. She was 79 years old. Keaton was best known for her role in Annie Hall, for which she won an Oscar and dozens of other films, including The Godfather, where she played the wife of Michael Corleone, played by Al Pacino.
Here's a cut from that movie.
Michael, why did you come here? Why? What do you want from me after all this time without even calling or writing? I came here because I need you, because I care for you.
