Late Friday, Sangamon County Judge Raylene DeWitte Grischow ruled in favor of the group of parents who brought the lawsuit, issuing a temporary restraining order against Pritzker’s executive order requiring districts to mandate masks for students and teachers. “This Court acknowledges the tragic toll the Covid-19 pandemic has taken, not only on this state, but throughout the nation and globe,” Grischow wrote in the ruling. “Nonetheless, it is the duty of the courts to preserve the rule of law and ensure that all branches of government act within the bounds of the authority granted under the Constitution.”
Attorney General Kwame Raoul is seeking an expedited appeal from the Fourth District Illinois Appellate Court, according to a statement from the governor’s office.
