Chicago judge temporarily blocks National Guard deployment in Illinois
SIAP
District Judge April Perry entered a TRO enjoining the deployment of National Guard troops from any U.S. state into Illinois. This ruling will be in effect for 14 days.
In the decision, Perry determined that there is "no credible evidence that there is a danger of rebellion in Illinois" and no evidence that the president is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the U.S.
She said that the deployment of the national guard to Illinois "is likely to lead to civil unrest" requiring a response from local and state law enforcement.
[IOW ... give in to the domestic terrorists. And IF LOCAL and STATE LEOs were allowed to do their job, then the NG troops would not be necessary.]
Eric Hamilton, countered that the Chicago area is experiencing "brazen hostility" to federal law enforcement officers, a "tragic lawlessness" in the city that is manifesting in hostile and violent acts against the Department of Homeland Security and ICE personnel.
Hamilton listed as examples "agitators" that had brought guns to federal facilities, and who have thrown rocks, bottles, tear gas and fireworks at federal agents, and who have blocked and impeded immigration enforcement, including by surrounding ICE agents and ramming their vehicles into law enforcement vehicles.
All of which has shown, Hamilton argued, that in Illinois there is an "unprecedented" and "blatant disregard for law and order."
Wells, the attorney for Illinois, contended that the situation on the ground, particularly outside the ICE facility in Broadview, had calmed substantially since the local government and police force had instituted restrictions on protest hours and since the Illinois State Police began providing protection at the facility.
[you mean that city and state LEOs finally started doing their JOBS? and that was all they had to do? interesting...]
