US EditionQ&A: A Look at the National Guard's Role as Trump Seeks to Deploy Troops in Oregon and Chicago
Trump cites a 1,000% rise in assaults on immigration agents as justification for sending Texas National Guard troops to Chicago despite legal opposition from Illinois officials.
- On Tuesday, October 7, 2025, President Donald Trump deployed National Guard troops to Chicago, sending hundreds of Texas National Guard troops after assaults on federal immigration authorities.
- Facing opposition, Chicago and Illinois have sued to block Guard deployment, while Illinois Democratic governor opposes it and Chicago Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson created 'ICE-free zones' in city buildings.
- Federal courts have recently reviewed and blocked deployments, with U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut halting 200 troops in Oregon and U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruling the Los Angeles deployment of 4,000 Guard members and 700 Marines violated federal law.
- Federal judges have issued restraining orders and rejected some federalization attempts, but President Donald Trump remains optimistic, while Villanova law professor Brenner Fissell warns of serious separation-of-powers risks.
- Looking to precedent, President Dwight D. Eisenhower and President Lyndon Johnson used federal control of the Guard during civil-rights crises, with the Posse Comitatus Act carrying penalties but no prosecutions, and scholars warn judicial safeguards depend on actual statutory conditions.
