Pentagon withdrawing Guard from Chicago and Portland

The Pentagon is pulling hundreds of federalized National Guard troops from Chicago and Portland weeks after President Trump sent them over objections from state and local leaders, officials said. About 200 California Guard in Portland and 200 Texas Guard in Chicago will return home as early as Sunday after legal challenges kept them off the streets. With holidays looming and court orders halting operations, Pentagon leaders opted to end the costly standby. Roughly 300 Illinois and 200 Oregon Guard remain activated. Northern Command signaled adjustments under Title 10 as courts including the Supreme Court continue to weigh the deployments.
