U.S. District Judge April Perry says it comes down to a "credibility determination."

"I simply cannot credit [the Trump administration's] declarations to the extent they contradict state and local law enforcement. … DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."

#BREAKING A federal judge say she will grant "in part" a request by the state of Illinois for a temporary restraining order against the deployment of National Guard troops into the state.

U.S. District Judge April Perry is still ruling and has not outlined the details of her order.

A woman was shot by U.S. Border Patrol agents Saturday on Chicago’s South Side, marking the second shooting since President Trump’s administration launched an aggressive immigration enforcement operation in the area last month.

The parties are asking a judge to block the Trump administration from federalizing the Illinois National Guard and from sending to Illinois any guard members from other states, including Texas.

This reporter helped expose the falsity of ICE's narrative on the fatal shooting of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez. His work is a perfect example of why we don't have secret police.

Journalists have a constitutional right to cover protests and their aftermath. Release @peoplesfabric.com immediately.

Though the FDA narrowed criteria for the shots, many people still want them, to avoid illness and protect vulnerable family members. Some are turned down at the pharmacy or have to jump through hoops.

You asked, and we found the answers. What happens if the National Guard is deployed in Chicago?

The U.S. House voted Thursday on a rescission bill to claw back money for foreign aid programs, along with two years of funding for the public media system. The measure now goes to the Senate.
