What to know about Trump’s National Guard deployments in Chicago and Portland

National Guard members, ordered to Illinois by President Donald Trump, are now protecting federal property near Chicago ahead of a court hearing on their deployment. Meanwhile, 24 Democrat-led states have joined a legal challenge to National Guard deployment in Portland, Oregon. Chicago and Illinois have filed a lawsuit to stop the deployments, calling them unnecessary and illegal. Trump has portrayed Chicago as a crime-ridden city, despite a significant recent drop in crime.
