<h1>Federal ruling allows National Guard under federal control but bars protecting federal property or conducting patrols under Insurrection Act</h1> An appeals court ruled National Guard troops sent to the state by the President may remain under federal control but are barred from protecting federal property or conducting patrols pending further proceedings. A federal judge had temporarily blocked the deployment, finding insufficient evidence of a 'danger of rebellion' to justify invoking the Insurrection Act. The appeals court paused the case until more arguments are heard. The district court concluded civil authorities have not failed, noting arrests and prosecutions are proceeding, and about 500 Guard members from two states are staged at an Army Reserve center and an immigration facility.
