Overview

• White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said President Trump ordered 300 Illinois National Guard members to Chicago to protect federal personnel and property.
• Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker publicly opposed the move and said the Pentagon gave him an ultimatum to call up the Guard or the federal government would do so.
• U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut issued a temporary injunction barring the administration from placing Oregon Guard troops under federal control and deploying them to Portland.
• The court order, which lasts until October 18, said recent Portland protests do not present an insurrection risk and that local law enforcement can manage the situation.
• The dispute follows earlier deployments to Los Angeles and Washington, and ongoing litigation continues, with a hearing in the Oregon case scheduled for October 29 and critics alleging the crime threat is being overstated for political ends.
