By McHenry Times | Jul 3, 2024

Petitioners had requested that the nation's highest court issue an injunction against enforcing the ban. This request followed conflicting rulings on multiple challenges to the law, including a temporary injunction issued by a judge in the Southern District of Illinois that was later overturned by the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, where a challenge is still pending.
