President Donald Trump's successful anti-crime initiative in Washington D.C. made it crystal clear that deploying federal agents and National Guard troops to high-crime areas is effective. It works quite well.

However, most Democrats, due to their extreme cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome, continue to protest the idea, and have even taken the issue to the courts where, according to JustTheNews, the Trump administration was blocked from sending troops to a major U.S. city once again. 

President Trump vowed to send troops in to help clean up Chicago, Illinois, but Gov. J.B. Pritzker and his administration are fighting the president at every turn, including in federal court, where they managed to block the White House.

A federal judge appointed by former President Joe Biden stopped the White House from sending in the troops to Chicago this week, however, the order is only temporary.

What's going on?

The restraining order, issued by U.S. District Judge April Perry, temporarily blocks the "federalization and deployment of the National Guard to Chicago and its surrounding area."

The order came as the result of a lawsuit filed against the Trump administration by the city of Chicago and state of Illinois. The lawsuit was filed Monday after news broke of an imminent troop deployment to the Windy City.

The president's deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago would have been primarily focused around protecting federal buildings, as many of them have seen vandalism and protests in recent weeks.

The order was filed after some 500 Texas National Guard troops were sent to the area earlier in the week.

JustTheNews noted:

U.S. District Judge April Perry, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden, partially granted the request and said the order will expire on Oct. 23.

The judge also set a hearing for Oct. 22 on whether to extend the order for another two weeks. She did not explain her reasoning for granting the order.

Gloating

Gov. Pritzker took a victory lap on social media shortly after the ruling was handed down.

“Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law," Pritzker wrote.

He added, “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."

Hopefully, additional troops will be sent to Chicago, as the city's violent crime rate is still embarrassingly high.
