BROADVIEW, Ill. (WLS) — The Trump administration is asking an appeals court for an immediate stay of a judge’s ruling this week that blocked the National Guard from deploying in Illinois.

This request comes nearly 24 hours after a federal judge ruled the metal fence outside the Broadview Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility must come down by early next week.

On Saturday morning, faith leaders are planning to march to that facility.

The Department of Justice says the National Guard is needed to protect federal officers from violent attacks and called Judge April Perry’s move to grant the temporary restraining order “extraordinary.”

Perry wrote in her opinion, after granting the state’s request for that temporary restraining order, that the deployment of the National Guard “is likely to lead to civil unrest.”

Meanwhile, Friday marked another day of anti-ICE demonstrations near the Broadview facility.

Hundreds of people throughout the day could be seen rallying together, but authorities say at least four people were arrested for resisting and obstructing law enforcement.

Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth were turned away from trying to visit the Broadview facility on Friday.

And in a separate decision, a judge granted the village of Broadview’s temporary restraining order, calling for a fence, which was put up by federal agents and blocks a street near the facility, to come down.

The government has until 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday to take that fence down.

ABC7 is expecting the faith community to step off at 10 a.m. from St. Eulalia Catholic Church before heading to the Broadview facility.

The goal is to attempt to deliver communion people who may be being held at the facility.

Broadview’s mayor is also expected to walk.
