The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit on Nov. 19 temporarily paused an order that restricts the use of force by federal immigration agents in an illegal immigration crackdown in the Chicago area, calling it “too prescriptive” and “overbroad.”

The federal appeals court also warned against “overreading” its ruling and said a rapid appeal process could result in a “more tailored and appropriate” order.
