Overview

• U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from sending any National Guard units to Oregon and rebuked plans to import troops from other states.
• Illinois and the city of Chicago filed a federal lawsuit seeking to stop the federalization and deployment of Guard troops to the city, arguing the move violates state sovereignty and limits on military roles in law enforcement.
• The White House confirmed President Trump authorized using Illinois Guard members, while Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he approved calling up 400 Texas Guard personnel for potential deployments.
• DHS defended expanded operations tied to immigration enforcement, even as the department acknowledged federal agents shot a woman in Chicago during weekend actions near ongoing protests and arrests by an ICE facility in Broadview.
• Recent rulings, including a decision finding a Los Angeles deployment unlawful, signal mounting legal hurdles for the administration’s multi-city deployments and set up likely appeals.
