Texas, California National Guard Being Recalled from Chicago, Portland Deployments—
The Department of War ordered Texas and California National Guard to return to their home states, ending deployments to Chicago and Portland. The orders following intervention from activist judges who claimed there was no justification for the military’s assistance in these cities.
In Chicago, 200 Texas National Guard soldiers were deployed to the Chicago area in October in response to violent protests and actions against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and facilities. Texas Governor Greg Abbott authorized the federal government to deploy the National Guard, which has been patrolling the nation’s southern border during the Biden-era border crisis, Breitbart Texas’ Randy Clark reported.
The Guardsmen were deployed under the president’s Title 10 authority which was challenged by U.S. District Court Judge April Perry, CNN reported. The U.S. Supreme Court asked for an additional briefing on the case.
