A U.S. federal judge on Thursday ordered a suspension of President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard in Chicago and its surroundings, stating that the situation in this major city in Illinois (Midwest) does not rise to the level of a “rebellion” threat, which was the justification given by the administration for the decision, according to local media reports.

The media quoted Judge April Perry explaining her reasons for the decision: “I found no credible evidence of a rebellion threat in the state of Illinois,” considering the Department of Homeland Security officials’ justifications “not credible.”

She warned that deploying military forces in Chicago “would only inflame the situation that the defense side itself,” i.e., the Trump administration, “has ignited.”

Before the order, 500 U.S. soldiers had been deployed in the area as part of Trump’s immigration campaign, despite strong objections from local leaders.

National Guard members were seen entering a facility belonging to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the Broadview suburb of Chicago overnight, according to local media on Thursday.

The deployment includes 200 National Guard soldiers from Texas and 300 from Illinois, according to a statement released Wednesday evening by the U.S. Northern Command.

They were mobilized for an initial period of 60 days.
