Federal Judge Dismisses Illinois Lawsuit Over National Guard Deployment Amid Rescinded Orders
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the state of Illinois concerning the deployment of federal troops to Chicago during Operation Midway Blitz. The decision came after assurances that the presidential orders for the deployment had been rescinded. U.S. District Judge April Perry ruled that she could not issue advisory opinions on orders that are no longer in effect, despite President Trump's previous threats to redeploy troops to Chicago. The lawsuit, which gained national attention, was initially filed by the Illinois Attorney General and the city of Chicago, leading to a restraining order that blocked the deployment. The U.S. Supreme Court later denied a request from the Trump administration to allow the deployment while the legal battle continued.
