Hundreds Of Deployed Guard Troops Sent Home

Hundreds of National Guard troops deployed to Chicago and Portland, Oregon, are being sent home, and those who will remain will not be on the streets. That’s according to a defense official who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the issue. The official said Monday that all 200 California National Guard troops deployed to Oregon and another 200 Texas National Guard troops in Chicago are being sent home. The move is part of a broader change to deployments after President Donald Trump began his crackdown in various Democratic-led cities. But U.S. Northern Command said in a statement it will maintain a “constant, enduring, and long-term presence” in the cities.
