Washington.
The Administration of the American President Donald Trump retired at the end of January and without announcing it publiclyto all troops federalized National Guard that had been sent to Los Angeles, Chicago y Portlandafter a judicial setback for his deployments of the army in Democratic cities and states.
The withdrawal It ended on January 21 2026, date on which the US Northern Command (Northcom) assures on its website that:
“all Title 10 troops in Portland, Los Angeles and Chicago have completed demobilization activities.”
Neither the White House nor the Pentagon They publicly announced the withdrawal, revealed this Wednesday by The Washington Post.
The decision to reverse these campaigns, which the Government Trump insisted that They sought to combat high crime rates and support operations to arrest irregular immigrants, came after the Supreme Court at the end of December temporarily blocked the deployment in Chicago.
The court noted that the president’s ability to federalize the National Guard It only works in exceptional circumstances, which he understood did not occur in Chicago.
The ruling was a major setback for the plans of the Government Trump when activating the troops under title 10 of the code that regulates the United States Armed Forces, which allows the president to exercise authority federal over the National Guard of a state.
The three deployments, carried out through the mechanical title, reached involve the mobilization of 6,000 troops (mostly in Los Angeles) despite the opposition of the authorities locals, who accused the White House of behaving in an authoritarian manner.
Before the final withdrawal of troops, 300 National Guard soldiers they still remained in Chicago100 in Portland and another 100 in Los Angeles.
He Government Trump still maintains troops of the National Guard deployed in the cities of Washington DC, Memphis and New Orleans, although all were sent through different mechanisms in which it was not necessary to federalize the contingents.
