Overview

• The White House said President Trump approved sending 300 Guard members to Chicago to protect federal personnel and facilities, according to deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson.
• U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut temporarily blocked the planned Guard deployment to Portland, finding the president’s determination was not supported by evidence of a broader insurrection.
• Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker said the administration issued an ultimatum to activate the state Guard or see it federalized, which he denounced and refused.
• DHS reported that a federal agent shot a reportedly armed driver in a Chicago incident earlier in the day, a claim not independently verified; DHS criticized the local police response, which Chicago police said did not involve their investigation.
• The Chicago move follows earlier orders in cities including Los Angeles, Washington and Memphis, and comes after a federal judge in California ruled the Los Angeles deployment illegal.
