Overview

• White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said 300 Illinois National Guard members were ordered to Chicago to protect federal personnel and property.
• Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker said the Pentagon delivered an ultimatum to activate the Guard or have Washington do it, and he denounced the step as unnecessary.
• U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut issued a temporary order blocking the Portland deployment until October 18, finding the protests there did not pose an insurrection risk and could be handled by local law enforcement.
• State and city officials have mounted legal challenges to the federalization moves, arguing presidential overreach, with further court proceedings pending.
• The Chicago order follows earlier deployments to Los Angeles and Washington and announced plans for Portland, with mission details limited to facility protection and no start time specified for Illinois.
