Is the National Guard going to Chicago and Portland?

Asked 2 hours ago

Answer

President Trump has ordered National Guard deployments to both Chicago and Portland, but court rulings and lawsuits are challenging or blocking these moves. Illinois is suing to stop the deployment, and a federal judge has temporarily blocked National Guard deployments to Portland. Despite legal resistance, federalized troops are being prepared for both cities.
