Trump Sends Guard to Chicago, Redirects California Troops to Portland After Oregon Court Block

A temporary restraining order halted use of Oregon’s Guard, sharpening a federal–state legal fight over the president’s authority.

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.
