US EditionTrump says National Guard is leaving Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland
- On Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025, President Donald Trump said he is removing National Guard troops from Chicago, Los Angeles, California and Portland, Oregon after legal roadblocks hampered deployments.
- Federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, recently declined the administration's emergency request, keeping U.S. District Judge April Perry's block on Chicago and barring deployments in Oregon and California.
- Federalization earlier this year meant the National Guard largely guarded federal buildings and ICE facilities, and by then only 300 troops remained in Chicago while 200 California troops were sent home from Oregon.
- Trump warned federal forces could return "in a much different and stronger form" if crime soars, while California Attorney General Rob Bonta called the Guard "political pawns" and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker called the court order a "big win."
- Legal experts note the U.S. Supreme Court limited presidential power to federalize the Guard for immigration enforcement, while 45 states have entered filings and more than 2,200 troops remain in Washington.
