Overview

• The White House authorized 300 National Guard members for Chicago to protect federal officers and property over Governor J.B. Pritzker’s objections.
• DHS said federal agents in Chicago opened fire after being rammed and surrounded by vehicles during an ICE operation, wounding a woman who later went to a hospital.
• A federal judge in Oregon blocked a separate plan to mobilize 200 Guard members to Portland, calling the president’s portrayal of unrest detached from the facts.
• Judge Karin Immergut wrote that Portland’s protests do not present a danger of insurrection and that normal law enforcement can manage the incidents.
• Officials have not specified when the Guard will arrive in Chicago, and the administration is expected to appeal the Portland ruling to the Ninth Circuit, which previously reinstated authority for a Los Angeles deployment.
