Judge extends block on National Guard deployment in Chicago indefinitely

A judge has extended her temporary restraining order against the deployment of National Guard troops in the Chicago area indefinitely, following a decision that is still pending from the U.S. Supreme Court. This ruling means that National Guard troops will not be deployed in Chicago unless the Supreme Court intervenes.

In other parts of the country, the deployment of the National Guard is also uncertain. In Portland, Oregon, it will be at least several days before any deployment can occur, while federal appeals judges are currently deliberating on whether hundreds of California National Guard members should remain under federal control.

This legal situation arises amidst President Donald Trump"s efforts to send military forces into cities governed by Democratic leaders, which has faced significant opposition from various mayors and governors. These actions have resulted in a series of lawsuits and conflicting court rulings.
