Judge Blocks Trump Again

A stunning legal move puts politics above public safety

In a move that’s already sparking outrage nationwide, a federal judge in Illinois has blocked President Donald Trump’s plan to deploy National Guard troops in the Chicago area — a city already reeling from record crime, migrant chaos, and failed Democrat leadership.

U.S. District Judge April Perry issued a two-week injunction after Illinois and Chicago filed suit to stop the deployment of Guard units from Illinois and Texas. Perry claimed there was no “danger of rebellion” — a phrase many say shows how out of touch Washington judges have become as crime spirals out of control in major cities.

Democrats Block Trump — Then Blame Him for the Chaos

The ruling marks a small but symbolic victory for Democrat leaders like Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who have long clashed with President Trump’s law-and-order agenda. Both officials have refused to cooperate with federal border efforts and have accused the administration of “targeting” Illinois.

Judge Perry went even further, suggesting that the Department of Homeland Security acted out of “animus toward Illinois officials” — and called DHS’s description of the violent protests at Broadview’s immigration center “unreliable.”

Meanwhile, the same officials celebrating this decision have presided over years of soaring murder rates, gang violence, and open-air drug markets — while continuing to reject help from federal authorities.

Trump’s Push for Law and Order vs. the Left’s Politics of Denial

President Trump has repeatedly warned that Democrat-run cities have become ungovernable, describing Chicago as a “hellhole of crime and corruption.” His administration has used the Insurrection Act and other executive powers to protect federal property and restore law enforcement authority in cities like Los Angeles, Washington, and Memphis.

A Justice Department lawyer emphasized in court that the National Guard’s mission was simple: to protect federal agents and facilities — not to fix all of Chicago’s crime. But the left’s courtroom victories have left many Americans wondering: Who is really being protected — the people or the politicians?

A Broader Battle Between Blue States and Trump’s America First Agenda

Thursday’s ruling wasn’t the only blow to Trump’s plan. A federal appeals court also heard arguments over the President’s authority to deploy 200 Oregon National Guard troops to Portland, another liberal city plagued by nightly unrest outside ICE facilities.

While two dozen Democrat-led states have joined lawsuits to block these deployments, 20 Republican governors — including those from Iowa and Tennessee — have stood with Trump. In Memphis, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee confirmed troops will begin patrols Friday, calling it “a duty to uphold law and order.”

The Bottom Line: Democrats Tie Trump’s Hands as America Burns

Across America, Democrat officials are celebrating legal wins while their cities crumble. From Chicago to Portland, President Trump continues to fight to restore safety, defend federal property, and stand up for the rule of law — even as liberal judges and politicians try to stop him at every turn.

For millions of Americans tired of rampant crime, open borders, and political double standards, one thing is clear:

President Trump is still the only one willing to stand up for law and order in a lawless age.
