What we know about National Guard deployment in Chicago and Portland

Illinois followed California and Oregon to deposit prosecution to prevent President Donald Trump from sending hundreds of national guard troops to the big cities led by the Democrats.

The trial submitted on Monday by Illinois and Chicago Lightens Trump’s authorization on Saturday to deploy 300 soldiers in the windy city is “illegal and dangerous”.

Trump continues To flex federal power And says that troops are necessary to protect federal buildings during efforts to apply immigration.

But a federal judge on Sunday told Trump that he couldn’t send troops to Oregon – Hours after the governor of this state said that 101 members of the California National Guard had already arrived on Saturday with more on the way and went to Portland.

The sending of the National Guard to States despite the objections of their governor is not a new idea in the inner circle of Trump.

Stephen Miller, the deputy chief of staff of the White House, said in November 2023 that a second Trump administration would custody in the sympathetic states led by the Republicans to the States led by Democrats who refuse to cooperate with his desire for mass deportations.

“The Alabama National Guard will stop illegal extraterrestrials in Alabama and the Virginia National Guard in Virginia. And if you are going to enter a hostile state like Maryland, well, there would simply be Virginia arising in Maryland, right, very close, very nearby,” said Miller at the time on “The Charlie Kirk Show”.

Here is a snapshot of where things are with federal law enforcement activities in Portland, Chicago and elsewhere:

Trump’s efforts respect the decline

The trial submitted by Illinois and Chicago comes after the Democratic Governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, said that 300 of the state guard troops were to be federalized and deployed to the third city in the country, as well as 400 others from Texas.

“Donald Trump uses our members of the service as political accessories and as a pawns in his illegal effort to militarize the cities of our nation,” said Pritzker a few hours after filing.

Illinois Aclu also brought an action on Monday against Trump, DHS, ICE, Border Patrol and several of the national and local leaders of these agencies, accusing them of unleashing a campaign of violence and intimidation against peaceful demonstrators and journalists for weeks of protests outside of an ice detention center in BroadView, Illinois.

In the establishment, about 12 km west of Chicago, federal agents have repeatedly pulled tear gas, pepper balls and other projectiles towards the crowd in response and at least seven people faced federal accusations after being arrested in these clashes.

Posed by a coalition of media, media associations and demonstrators – notably the Illinois Press Association, the Block Club Chicago and the Chicago Headline Club – the trial alleges that federal agents used “flash grenades” and “violent”, in particular tear gas, rubber balls, pepper balls and flash grenades, interfering with first amendments, in particular freedom of existence and press.

“In modern times, the federal government did not dictate the constitutional protections of the foundation on this scale, or the police power of the usurped states by ordering federal agents to carry out an illegal mission against the people for the benefit of the government,” said the complaint.

The mayor of BroadView, Katrina Thompson, announced on Monday a decree demanding that the demonstrators demonstrate outside the ICE establishment between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily. Thompson said that the order was an effort to “balance the constitutional rights of the demonstrators with the needs and security of the BroadView residents and companies”.

The latest federal deployments target Portland, Chicago

The spokesman for the White House, Abigail Jackson, confirmed that the president had authorized the use of the members of the Illinois National Guard, citing what he called “violent riots and anarchy” that local leaders have not repressed.

Trump characterized both Portland and Chicago while cities rise up in crime and troubles, calling the first a “war zone” and suggesting Apocalyptic force was necessary to stifle problems in the latter. Since the start of his second mandate, he sent or spoke of sending troops to 10 cities, including Baltimore, Maryland; Memphis, Tennessee; THE District of Columbia; New Orleans; and the cities of California of Oakland, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Oregon governor Tina Kotek spoke to Trump at the end of September and said the deployment was not necessary. She refused to call the troops of the Oregon National Guard, then Trump himself did in an order to the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. This caused the trial of city and state officials.

In Chicago, alarms were raised on racial profiling

On Monday, the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, signed an executive decree prohibiting federal agents from using properties belonging to the city as staging areas. It applies to parking lots, garages and vacant terrains.

“We will not tolerate ice agents who violated the constitutional rights of our residents and we do not allow the federal government to ignore our local authority,” Johnson said in a statement.

The armed, camouflaged and masked view Border patrol agents The arrest procedure near famous monuments in the city center has amplified concerns about racial profiling. Many chicagoans were already uncomfortable After immigration repression started earlier this month. Agents targeted immigrants and largely zones.

The Ministry of Internal Security acknowledged that federal agents killed a woman on Saturday morning on the southwest side of Chicago. A declaration from the department said it occurred after agents of the border patrol patrolling the area “were struck by vehicles and locked up by 10 cars”.

“The police left their trapped vehicle, when a suspect tried to overthrow them, forcing the police to shoot the defensive,” the statement said.

No law enforcement agent was seriously injured, said DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin.

The woman who was killed was an American citizen and was armed with a semi-automatic weapon, according to McLaughlin.

The woman was in good condition in a hospital, according to firefighters.

Deployment in Portland blocked by the judge

About 400 demonstrators paraded a park on Saturday from a Portland Ice detention center. Federal agents have used chemical crowd control ammunition, including tear gas cartridges and less lethal pistols that sprayed pepper balls, reported the Oregonian.

At least six people were arrested while the group reached the establishment.

The American district judge appointed by Trump, Karin Imggut, then rendered his first decision temporarily blocking deployment on Saturday afternoon, claiming that the relatively low demonstrations that the City saw did not justify the use of federalized forces and allowed it the deployment could harm the sovereignty of the state of Oregon.

The Trump administration responded with another attempt to send troops from the National Guard of California and Texas, which prompted Kotek and the governor of California Gavin Newsom, also a Democrat, to return to court on Sunday. IMMERGUT granted the request, preventing the national guard troops from being sent to Oregon for 14 days.

The White House responded to Immergut on Monday with the secretary of the press Karoline Leavitt calling for the opinion of the judge “without attachment in reality and in the law”.

The deputy chief of staff of the White House, Stephen Miller, told journalists “the administration goes through the call process to obtain help from the decision” but “at the same time that we use all the available options and we will examine them”.

Efforts in Memphis and Louisiana

Wednesday, Hegseth, Bondi and Miller joined the members of a federal working group on the application of laws that started operating in Memphis As part of Trump’s crime fighting plan. The governor of Tennessee Bill Lee, a republican, argued the effort.

On September 30, the Republican Governor of Louisiana Jeff Landry asked for a deployment of guard in New Orleans and other cities to help fight crime.

He said there had been “high levels of violent crimes” in Shreveport, Baton Rouge and New Orleans, as well as shortages in the application of local laws.

The Court of Appeal weighs the deployment of California

Trump deployed soldiers on duty and navies in active service in Los Angeles during the summer about Governor Newsom, who continued and won a temporary block after a federal judge found the use of the president by the president by the president was probably illegal.
