Yes, the appeals court is still considering a stay pending the full appeal.

Unclear when that later ruling will come.

Note that this is a partial grant of the administrative stay only. The court has not ruled on the stay pending appeal.

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals PARTIALLY grants the stay sought by the Trump Administration.

The stay is GRANTED as to federalization of the National Guard.

But it is DENIED as to deployment.

So deployment still BLOCKED, but troops "do not need to return to their home states."
