Report: National Guard Members To Leave Portland And Chicago – KXL

PORTLAND, OR – 200 members of the California National Guard intended for deployment in Portland will be sent home, according to a report from ABC News.   That same report makes reference to U.S. officials who also say another 200 federalized Texas National Guard members sent to Chicago will return to their home state.

On Friday night, U.S. Northern Command posted on X that changes would be made to mission plans for troops but provide few details, other than to say “…the Department will be shifting and/or rightsizing our Title 10 footprint in Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago to ensure a constant, enduring, and long-term presence in each city.”

California will maintain a ready force of 100 Guard members and Texas will maintain a force of 200 members who have all volunteered for the mission, according to one of the officials who spoke with ABC.

Reportedly, the number of federalized Oregon National Guard troops on active duty will be reduced from 200 to 100.
