Florissant Man Charged With First-Degree Terrorist Threat At Hospital

LOUIS COUNTY, MO. — Kieran Murphy, 57, of Florissant, Mo., was charged Wednesday with first-degree terrorist threat after authorities say he made a bomb threat to a hospital emergency room, according to the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. The charge stems from an incident early Wednesday morning, Oct. 8, 2025, at approximately 4:30 a.m. at Christian Northeast Hospital. Law enforcement officials reported that a caller, later identified as Murphy, told hospital staff there was a bomb in the emergency room that he would remotely detonate.

Temporary Injunction Prevents Additional State National Guard Influx To Chicago
CHICAGO - A federal judge on Thursday, Oct. 9, 2025, temporarily blocked President Donald Trump from deploying more than 500 National Guard members to the Chicago area, citing a lack of credible evidence of a rebellion in Illinois. During a nearly three-hour hearing, U.S. District Judge April Perry challenged the Trump administration’s claim that there was a danger of rebellion in Illinois, particularly focusing on incidents at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, a Chicago suburb. “I see no credible evidence there is a danger of rebellion in the state of Illinois,” Perry said from the bench late Thursday. She also ruled that the administration violated the 10th Amendment, which grants certain powers to states, and the 14th Amendment, which assures due process and equal protection. The order is set to expire at 11:59 p.m. Oct. 23, with a telephone hearing scheduled for Oct. 22 to consider extending the injunction for another 14 days. Th

Durbin Statement On Judge Perry Granting Temporary Restraining Order Blocking National Guard Troops To Illinois
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released the following statement after U.S. District Court Judge April Perry issued a temporary restraining order blocking President Trump’s national guard deployment in Illinois for two weeks: “I welcome this ruling against the President’s diabolical plan. President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Illinois, without the consent or request of Illinois’ elected leaders, is a clear violation of our Constitution and laws. President Trump does not have any legal basis for these deployments and may not use the military as a police force. “It’s clear this Administration’s unlawful use of military resources to police American cities endangers our communities and our democracy.
