President Donald Trump is temporarily barred from sending the National Guard to Illinois after Federal Judge April Perry granted the Illinois a temporary restraining order, notes Axios.
National Guard troops from Illinois and Texas have been posted in southwest suburban Elwood since earlier this week..
Even before troops from out of state arrived, Illinois and Chicago sued the Trump administration, arguing in the suit that the deployment was “unlawful and dangerous.”
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announced the win on T^witter/X and mocked Trump:
Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.
And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.
