U.S. Appeals Court Continues Block on Federal Government's Deployment of National Guard to Illinois

　　On October 16 local time, a federal appeals court rejected a request from the Trump administration to suspend a court ruling that temporarily blocks the deployment of the National Guard to Illinois.

　　It is reported that the day's ruling will allow a temporary restraining order issued by U.S. District Judge April Perry on October 9 in Chicago against the deployment to remain in effect. The restraining order was originally set to expire on October 23, but Perry has scheduled a hearing on October 22 to discuss whether it should be extended.

　　Following the deployment of troops to Los Angeles and Washington D.C. earlier this year, the U.S. federal government recently sent the National Guard to Chicago, Illinois. According to U.S. media reports, 200 Texas National Guard members arrived in the Chicago area on the 7th of this month. This move has sparked opposition from local governments and residents.
