A federal judge is backing Governor Pritzker in a challenge by two churches to his stay-at-home order.
Judge Robert Gettleman ruled yesterday against a temporary restraining order on the policy requested by Elim Romanian Pentecostal Church in Chicago and Logos Baptist Ministries in Niles.
The churches were seeking to hold in-person worship services while abiding by guidelines for social distancing and sanitation.
Gettleman said the churches “provided no evidence” that Pritzker’s order targets religion.
