Federal judge hits Trump administration credibility in siding with city and state against National Guard deployment
Judge’s order bars ‘federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois’ for at least 14 days.
By Jon Seidel and Tina Sfondeles Oct 9, 2025, 6:02pm PDT
Members of the Texas National Guard at the U.S. Army Reserve Training Center in far southwest suburban Elwood, Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2025.For U.S. District Judge April Perry,
it all came down to credibility.
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul speaks to reporters after court on Oct. 9, 2025.
Tina SfondelesShould she believe local law enforcement officials, who say they have protests over President Donald Trump’s immigration campaign well in hand? Or Trump, whose aides claim a “brazen new form of hostility” targeting federal law enforcement had broken out in Illinois?
In the end, Perry concluded the Trump administration’s “perception of events” around Chicago “are simply unreliable.” She’d seen “no credible evidence that there is danger of rebellion in the state of Illinois,” nor that Trump “is unable … to execute the laws of the United States.”

And after a historic hearing that lasted more than three hours at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse, the judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from “ordering the federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois.”
Perry ruled orally from the bench and promised a written opinion Friday. The order is effective for two weeks, and Perry set a hearing for Oct. 22 to determine whether it should be extended for two more. Trump’s lawyers are sure to appeal in the meantime.
Gov. JB Pritzker reacted in a statement by saying, “Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.”
“Today, the court confirmed what we all know: There is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.”
