Overview

  • Oregon and Portland filed a federal lawsuit seeking an emergency order to block a 60-day federalization of 200 Oregon National Guard members for ICE site protection, arguing 10 U.S.C. §12406 and the Posse Comitatus Act do not permit it.
  • Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker said DHS asked the Defense Department for about 100 troops to protect ICE personnel and facilities in Illinois, though no deployment has been confirmed.
  • Armed Border Patrol and ICE agents conducted visible patrols and made arrests in downtown Chicago, drawing allegations of discriminatory stops from local officials and advocates.
  • Attorney General Pam Bondi directed Justice Department components, including the FBI, to deploy agents to defend ICE facilities and personnel in Portland and Chicago.
  • Recent demonstrations near ICE facilities in Broadview, Illinois, and Portland led to arrests; DHS reported 11 arrests in Broadview and the seizure of two guns and a potential explosive device, with agents using pepper balls and tear gas during clashes.
