The Pentagon announced the withdrawal of 400 soldiers from the National Guards in Chicago and Portland, a few weeks after President Donald Trump sent these troops to combat rising crime. The withdrawal includes 200 soldiers from California and 200 from Texas, who will return to their home states. The troops were sent to support law enforcement in the face of protests and activists, but did not participate in immigration operations due to legal challenges.
The Department of Defense announced that it will adjust military presence in cities such as Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago, ensuring that forces are prepared to intervene when necessary. These measures have been criticized by Democrats, who have filed lawsuits to block them, and the U.S. Supreme Court is set to decide on the legality of Trump's actions.
