Editor’s note: This article was corrected. A previous version of the article stated that the extension of the statewide stay-at-home order was overturned. The Epoch Times regrets this error.
An Illinois judge has granted a restraining order to block Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s (D) extension of his stay-at-home order for a Republican lawmaker, but Pritzker said that it puts his entire plan in jeopardy.
