Some National Guard Troops Being Withdrawn From Chicago and Portland, Officials Say

About 400 National Guard troops from Texas and California are being withdrawn after legal challenges blocked their deployment, while some state guards remain active in Chicago and Portland.

  • By November 16, 2025, the Department of Defense ordered roughly 200 California National Guard troops in Portland and 200 Texas National Guard members in Chicago to return home.
  • Federal court rulings found multiple judges blocked deployments after state and local officials sued, challenging President Donald Trump's use of Title 10 of the federal code.
  • Defense officials added that of the 400 mobilized National Guard troops, only 100 Oregon National Guard members will remain on Title 10 orders while about 300 Illinois National Guard members stay activated.
  • U.S. Northern Command said the Department of Defense is 'shifting and/or rightsizing' its Title 10 footprint to maintain a long-term presence, coinciding with DHS leaving Naval Station Great Lakes and increased DHS activity in Charlotte, North Carolina.
  • The administration has appealed court rulings and filed a large appeal, while the U.S. Supreme Court has sought supplemental briefing as the broader federal versus state power fight continues.
