A federal judge has granted a partial restraining order blocking the Trump administration's deployment of National Guard troops in Illinois for 14 days. The ruling followed objections from state and local leaders, with the judge citing a lack of credible evidence of an organized rebellion and the potential for increased civil unrest. The judge also questioned the Department of Homeland Security's assessment of recent events in Chicago. Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul praised the decision, stating it addressed questions of states' sovereignty and the president's authority to militarize cities.
