Temporary restraining order halts Trump’s Chicago troop deployment

We are learning more tonight after a federal judge in Chicago temporarily blocked the Trump administration's national guard deployment in the city. The Trump administration and the state of Illinois faced off in federal court today, arguing over the legality of the deployment. FOX News Multimedia Reporter, Asher Redd, is in Chicago and he joins LiveNOW’s Austin Westfall with tonight’s latest updates.

We are also hearing that President Trump has said he would be willing to invoke the Insurrection Act if courts block his efforts. Here to discuss the ramifications of such an action is retired Marine Intelligence Officer and National Security Analyst, Hal Kempfer.

"Not even Alexander Hamilton could have envisioned one state's militia to be used against another state's residents because the president wants to punish those with views other than his own," U.S. District Judge April Perry said.

"I think Judge Perry did a very careful job of weighing the evidence, weighing the credibility of the evidence and those declarations that served as the testimony to be considered as to whether or not the President of the United States could and should federalize and deploy the National Guard into our great city and our great state and I think after doing so she made the correct decision to enter a temporary restraining order," Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul said.
