Hundreds of National Guard troops sent to Portland, Oregon, and Chicago, Illinois, in response to protests over the Trump administration’s immigration policies will return to their home states, as confirmed by a Defense Department official. Initially, about 200 soldiers from California and Texas were dispatched, but legal challenges have prevented their deployment on the streets. The Trump administration has appealed a ruling blocking these troops in Portland while reducing the number of federalized Oregon National Guard members from 200 to 100. Protests against the administration’s actions have led to significant pushback from local officials and ongoing demonstrations at federal facilities.
