An Illinois judge ruled against the closure of seven state facilities, which includes two prisons and two juvenile centers and three audlt transition centers.

The measure would derail a proposal for the south suburb to contract with a private company to build and run a facility that would hold detainees for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
