The 400 out-of-state National Guard troops deployed to Chicago and Portland, Ore., will be sent home in the coming days, according to multiple reports.
In Chicago, 200 Texas National Guard troops were sent to the city in early October but their deployment to the streets was stalled by multiple court rulings. In Portland, 200 California National Guard troops have been sitting through a similar situation.
“In the coming days, the Department will be shifting and/or rightsizing our Title 10 footprint in Portland, Los Angeles and Chicago,” U.S. Northern Command wrote Friday on social media.
That “rightsizing” will involve removing the hundreds of National Guard members from Chicago and Portland, sources told CNN.
President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to various cities has been met with a host of legal challenges in court. The cases focus on federal versus state power and the legality of using military troops on U.S. soil.
Federal judges have largely ruled against the deployments. When the Trump administration sent Guard troops and Marines into Los Angeles in June, a judge ruled months later the deployment had violated federal law.
The administration has claimed the National Guard troops are necessary to enforce immigration law in cities that have seen pro-immigrant protests. However, several judges have ruled the demonstrations do not represent an “insurrection” that would be required to justify sending in the National Guard.
