The Illinois attorney general on Jan. 23 asked a federal court to lift the temporary restraining order blocking a strict gun control law signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker earlier this month.

Lawyers for the attorney general, Kwame Raoul, argued that if the legislature fails to follow constitutionally-prescribed procedures, the court is not the proper venue for a complaint.
