October 12, 2025; 8am: A new decision from a federal appeals court said it will not allow Trump to deploy the National Guard to Illinois. However, the court did say the president could federalize the Guard for now – meaning the troops remain under federal authority but cannot be used on the ground in Chicago or elsewhere in the state. Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul joins “The Weekend” to discuss the latest.
