With Supreme Court decision still pending, judge extends block on Guard in Chicago indefinitely

National Guard troops won’t be deploying in the Chicago area anytime soon unless the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes. A judge in the case extended her temporary restraining order indefinitely. In Portland, Oregon, it will be at least days. And federal appeals judges are weighing whether hundreds of California National Guard members should remain under federal control. President Donald Trump’s push to send the military into Democratic-run cities — despite fierce resistance from mayors and governors — has unleashed a whirlwind of lawsuits and overlapping court rulings.

President Donald Trump’s attempts to deploy the military in Democratic-led cities _ over the objections of mayors and governors _ has brought a head-spinning array of court challenges and overlapping rulings. As the U.S. Supreme Court ponders whether to clear the way for the National Guard in Chicago, a federal appeals court is hearing arguments in California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s challenge to the deployment of troops in Los Angeles. Guard troops could also soon be on the ground in Portland, Oregon — pending legal developments there.
