Troops Heading Home: What’s Next for Chicago, L. A. , and Portland?

President Donald Trump has decided to pull National Guard troops from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland. This move comes after the Supreme Court ruled that the president can only send troops in special cases. The court said Trump didn’t have the right authority to use the National Guard for local policing without approval from Congress. The troops were first sent to Los Angeles in June. They were there to help control protests that happened during immigration enforcement operations. In September, the Department of Homeland Security said Chicago would be next. They claimed that "criminal illegal aliens" were moving to Chicago because of its sanctuary policies. This led to more protests, and Trump sent in the National Guard to help control the situation.Portland, Oregon, also saw protests outside an ICE facility. After months of unrest, Trump decided to send troops there too. But these deployments faced legal challenges. The Supreme Court recently ruled that Trump’s administration didn’t have the legal power to send troops to enforce laws in Illinois. Now, with the troops leaving, people are wondering what will happen next. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry mentioned that Trump might send troops to New Orleans for New Year’s Eve and Mardi Gras. This could be a way to ensure safety during these big events. The Supreme Court’s decision is important. It shows that the president can’t just send troops anywhere without proper legal grounds. This could set a precedent for future actions.
