- A federal judge has issued a ruling blocking the deployment of National Guard troops in the state of Illinois.
- This decision allows the National Guard to remain in their current locations rather than being deployed as previously suggested.
- The ruling comes in response to President Donald Trump’s suggestions about possibly invoking the Insurrection Act.
- The Insurrection Act would have facilitated the use of the National Guard and other military forces to address crime-related issues in the state.
- The judge’s decision restricts the operational role of the National Guard in Illinois, countering federal intentions to increase military presence to combat crime.
