Case Summary

Six months after she blocked President Donald Trump’s efforts to deploy National Guard troops into Chicago, a federal judge Monday confirmed that the orders triggering the deployment are no longer in effect and dismissed the lawsuit that challenged them. District Judge April Perry ruled that the case is “moot,” meaning there’s no meaningful action left for her to take. But she warned that there are still “fail safes” built into the legal system, especially if it turns out there were “misrepresentations” from the Trump administration. “The court cannot provide ongoing protection against hypothetical unlawful acts committed by the federal government,” Perry said.
