**Trump Orders National Guard Deployment to Chicago Amid Legal Challenges** A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump from deploying National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, while simultaneously authorizing the deployment of 300 National Guard members to Illinois. This decision comes despite objections from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who criticized the move as "un-American." U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, appointed by Trump, issued the ruling on Saturday, stating that the deployment to Portland was not justified given the limited nature of the protests and the capability of local law enforcement to manage the situation. "The president’s determination was simply untethered to the facts," Immergut wrote. The temporary restraining order will remain in effect for 14 days, preventing the federalization of 200 Oregon National Guard members. The Trump administration plans to appeal the ruling. In response to the judge's decision, Trump expressed his dissatisfaction, stating, "I wasn’t served well by the people that pick judges, I can tell you," and added that the judge should be "ashamed" of her ruling. The deployment to Illinois comes amid rising tensions between federal agents and protesters outside an immigration processing center in Broadview, Illinois. On Saturday, federal officers reportedly fired defensive shots at a woman who later sought medical attention. Chicago police confirmed their involvement but stated they were not part of the incident or its investigation. Federal prosecutors have charged three individuals in connection with the incident, alleging they used their vehicles to obstruct federal officers. Governor Pritzker condemned the federal government's actions, stating, "It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will." The ongoing legal battles highlight the contentious use of National Guard troops by the Trump administration to address protests and enforce immigration laws in cities led by Democrats. While state National Guard troops are typically under the control of individual governors, the administration argues that the president can federalize them in cases of "rebellion" or "invasion." In her ruling, Immergut emphasized the importance of maintaining state sovereignty and the historical resistance to government overreach, particularly regarding military involvement in civil affairs. She noted that the protests in Portland had not escalated to a level that warranted federal intervention. The White House has defended Trump's actions, asserting that he was exercising his lawful authority to protect federal assets and personnel. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson stated, "We expect to be vindicated by a higher court." The situation in Portland has been characterized by relatively small protests, with local officials arguing that the demonstrations have been manageable without federal troops. In recent weeks, protests at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility have drawn only a few dozen participants. The legal disputes surrounding the deployment of National Guard troops are part of a broader pattern, as Trump has previously sent troops to cities like Washington, D.C., Memphis, and Los Angeles. A federal judge in California recently ruled that the deployment in Los Angeles violated federal laws limiting military enforcement of civilian law, a decision the administration is appealing. As tensions continue to rise in both Portland and Chicago, the legal and political ramifications of these deployments remain uncertain. The ongoing cases reflect the complex relationship between state and federal authorities in managing civil unrest and enforcing immigration policies.
