Overview
- The White House authorized 300 National Guard members for Chicago to protect federal personnel and assets following a DHS-reported defensive shooting involving federal agents.
- DHS identified the wounded woman as Marimar Martínez and said she is in FBI custody after hospital discharge, while Chicago police said the department is not handling the investigation.
- U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut issued a 14‑day temporary restraining order blocking the president’s bid to federalize Oregon’s Guard for Portland, finding Oregon likely to prevail on constitutional grounds, and the administration appealed to the Ninth Circuit.
- After the Oregon block, the administration redirected about 300 already federalized California Guard troops toward Portland, drawing sharp objections and legal threats from Governor Gavin Newsom and Oregon’s leadership.
- Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker said he received a federal ultimatum to deploy state troops or face federalization, denounced the move, and linked the deployments to aggressive immigration enforcement that has sparked sustained protests.
