Texas National Guardsmen leaving Chicago area, US officials say
The 200 federalized Texas National Guardsmen sent to the Chicago area will return to their home state, two U.S. officials told ABC News.
The federalized Guardsmen arrived to the Naval Station Great Lakes in North Chicago in early October, but they never deployed operationally because of legal challenges that continue playing out in court.
Late Friday night, U.S. Northern Command hinted that changes were coming to the federalized troop mission in those cities but provided no details when it it posted on X that "in the coming days, the Department will be shifting and/or rightsizing our Title 10 footprint in Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago to ensure a constant, enduring, and long-term presence in each city."
The 200 Illinois National Guardsmen who had also been federalized by President Trump to operate in the Chicago will remain on active duty, an official said.
