US EditionSome National Guard Troops Being Withdrawn From Chicago and Portland, Officials Say
The Pentagon cited legal challenges and holiday concerns in deciding to send home over half of the federalized Texas and California National Guard troops from Chicago and Portland.
- On November 16, 2025, U.S. Northern Command began drawing down hundreds of National Guard soldiers from Chicago, Illinois, and Portland, Oregon, including all 200 California National Guard troops in Oregon.
- Federal court rulings forced limits on deployments after U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut found President Donald Trump exceeded Title 10 of the U.S. Code authority earlier this month.
- About 300 Illinois National Guard troops will stay activated while 200 Texas National Guard members return and only 100 Oregon National Guard remain on Title 10 orders.
- U.S. Northern Command framed the move as a 'rightsizing' to establish a long-term presence, while Governor Gavin Newsom, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker responded amid the U.S. Supreme Court's additional briefing request.
- With Thanksgiving and Christmas fast approaching, Pentagon officials decided last week to withdraw out-of-state soldiers due to holiday separation and costly limbo, maintaining a trimmed long-term presence amidst federal-state authority debates.
