President Trump has authorized the deployment of 300 Illinois National Guard members to Chicago to protect federal officers amid claims of riots. In Oregon, a federal judge blocked the use of state troops in Portland, but 300 California National Guard personnel arrived anyway. Democratic governors strongly oppose the moves, with California's Gavin Newsom filing a lawsuit against the administration.
