Nearly 500 National Guard arrived in the Chicago area earlier this month.

The dispute over their deployment is one of several over the trump administration's efforts to deploy National Guard troops who are normally under the jurisdiction of the states to major cities.

Trump's effort come after the president cited the need to fight crime in certain Democrat-run cities and to protect federal officials enforcing immigration efforts.

In court, Judge April Perry said lawyers had three options - move forward with a preliminary injunction hearing on November 17, have a trial on the merits like the one in Portland Oregon, or convert the TRO to a preliminary injunction.

Local and state officials have called trump's deployment plans an abuse of power.

A federal appeals court refused to put the district judge's order on hold, so the Trump administration has appealed the matter to the U.S. Supreme Court, but it's unclear when the court might rule.
