A district judge barred the deployment of National Guard troops to Illinois for 14 days, issuing a temporary restraining order on Thursday evening.
Judge April Perry denied the Trump administration’s request for a stay on the order, which expires on Oct. 23 at 11:59 p.m. The judge said the court would hold a hearing on Oct. 22 at 9 a.m. to decide whether there should be a second 14-day restraining order after the initial order expires.
The Trump administration is “temporarily enjoined from ordering the federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois,” Perry wrote in Thursday’s order.
