Judge Extends Order To Block Deployment Of Troops In Chicago: Report
The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to make a ruling that would allow the National Guard to deploy in the city.
CHICAGO — National Guard troops will not be deployed in Chicago, at least not for now. U.S. District Court Judge April Perry ruled Wednesday that she will extend her previous order to block the deployment of troops in the city.
CNN is reporting the extension will "likely remain in place" until a full trial or a ruling by the Supreme Court, which could possibly happen within days. The Trump administration had previously asked the Supreme Court to weigh in and allow the troops into the city.
Regardless of what the Supreme Court decides, we will continue to fight to end the war on Chicago. https://t.co/I6681mR9hC

Earlier this month, Perry had temporarily blocked the deployment of National Guard troops in Illinois. That order was set to expire this week.
