China News Service, April 8 (Xinhua), according to the Chinese website of the United States, a mayor of Illinois in the United States last week begged residents to abide by the state's home order. After the police officer reported that the population continued to violate the rules, the mayor said he had instructed the police department to use its discretion to issue fines and make arrests.
"This is a very severe period, and I beg you to be at home," Brant Walker, the mayor of Alton, Illinois, said at a briefing last week.
Less than 48 hours later, the police deported a party at Hiram Tavern in downtown Alton, and the attendees included Walker ’s wife.
Walker announced in a statement on the 6th that the police had investigated and prevented a social gathering that violated Illinois' statewide orders around 1 am on the 5th. He said that the police also told him that his wife was also there.
"I instructed the police chief to treat her like any citizen who violated the 'home order' and made sure she was not treated specially." Walker said in the statement.

The Illinois Home Order prohibits all public and private gatherings outside a single family or residential unit. The Alton Police Department said in a press release that it had received several complaints about the bistro continuing its business on the weekend.
According to reports, Alton police have launched criminal charges of reckless conduct against all those gathered at the Hiram Bar.
Mayor Walker also said in a statement that he was embarrassed by his wife's actions.
"My wife is an adult and is able to make her own decisions. In this case, she showed shocking judgment." Walker said, "and other violations of the 'Home Order' in this incident." Like others, she now faces the consequences of her unwise decisions. "
"I am embarrassed by this incident and apologize to the citizens of Alton. This incident may cause embarrassment to our city." He added.
