In late Dec, #SCOTUS issued a temporary order blocking #Trump from carrying out the #Chicago deployment because, it said, the president’s ability to federalize the #NationalGuard likely applies only in “exceptional” circumstances. The ruling has called into question any broader plans by the admin to use #federal #troops domestically to respond to #civil unrest.
The deployments have cost >$496 million, the Congressional Budget Office reported in Jan. -
The deployments — including >5,000 troops to #LosAngeles, approximately 500 into #Chicago & 200 to #Portland, #Oregon — were ordered despite the vehement opposition from state & local leaders who labeled the #Trump admin’s actions an unlawful abuse of presidential authority. All of those service members were sent home by the end of January, according to US Northern Command.

It was a remarkable turnabout after #Trump [if he even knows about it] & #Defense Secy #Hegseth had insisted the mobilizations were necessary to combat what they claimed was unchecked violence & to support enforcement of the nation’s #immigration laws.

#NationalGuard troops were quietly withdrawn from some #US #cities
The deployments encountered repeated legal setbacks [because they were illegal] that stymied #Trump’s “show of force” [#coup attempts] in #LosAngeles, #Chicago & #Portland, Oregon.#law #state #governors #PosseComitatusAct
