US EditionTrump says National Guard is leaving Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland
President Trump ends National Guard deployments in three cities after legal setbacks, citing reduced crime and warning of possible future federal force returns if crime rises.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he is removing National Guard troops from Chicago, Illinois, Los Angeles, California, and Portland, Oregon, despite claiming crime was "greatly reduced" by their presence.
- After recent rulings, the legal landscape shifted when the U.S. Supreme Court kept a lower-court block on the Chicago deployment and U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ordered California's troops returned to Gov. Gavin Newsom.
- At its peak, the deployment involved 4,000 California National Guard troops, but about 300 remained under federal control in Los Angeles and Chicago, and 200 in Portland, mostly guarding federal buildings.
- The DOJ's withdrawal cleared a path for California and other governors to regain command, with Department of Justice lawyers withdrawing their request to keep troops under federal control and not opposing lifting a partial administrative stay.
- Looking ahead, President Donald Trump warned federal forces `will come back` if crime 'begins to soar again,' while Congress probes military use in civilian settings and the Guard remains in Washington, D.C.
