A federal judge in Chicago has issued a temporary restraining order against President Donald Trump’s deployment of hundreds of National Guard troops to Illinois, after city and state officials sued to block the move. U.S. District Judge April Perry said in an oral ruling Thursday that deploying soldiers would “only add fuel to the fire that defendants themselves have started.” The ruling came as Illinois’s Democratic Governor JB Pritzker once again accused Trump of overstepping constitutional limits on his authority.

Gov. JB Pritzker: “We’ve seen at every turn that they’ve tried to militarize our cities. Indeed, look at what ICE and CBP are doing. They’re wearing fatigues. They’re carrying long guns, automatic weapons. They’re coming to downtown. Come on, downtown Chicago, Michigan Avenue, what is the purpose of that? It’s all a show.”

Separately, another federal judge in Chicago ruled Thursday that federal agents violated the constitutional rights of peaceful demonstrators, journalists and religious leaders at recent protests against ongoing ICE raids. A lawsuit brought by victims of the violence accuses federal agents of a “pattern of extreme brutality,” saying they tackled and slammed people into the ground and fired rubber bullets and pepper balls at peaceful protesters and working journalists. In her ruling, District Court Judge Sara Ellis wrote, “Individuals are allowed to protest. They are allowed to speak. That is guaranteed by the First Amendment of our constitution, and it is a bedrock right that upholds our democracy.” Judge Ellis’s temporary restraining order also requires all uniformed federal agents to prominently display identification like badge numbers on their uniforms or helmets.
