The pullout was quietly finalized late last month, occurring with no public acknowledgment from the #WhiteHouse or the #Pentagon.It was a remarkable turnabout after #Trump [if he even knows about it] & #Defense Secy #Hegseth had insisted the mobilizations were necessary to combat what they claimed was unchecked violence & to support enforcement of the nation’s #immigration laws.

The deployments — including >5,000 troops to #LosAngeles, approximately 500 into #Chicago & 200 to #Portland, #Oregon — were ordered despite the vehement opposition from state & local leaders who labeled the #Trump admin’s actions an unlawful abuse of presidential authority. All of those service members were sent home by the end of January, according to US Northern Command.

More than 2,500 #NationalGuard members remain in #WashingtonDC, in response to Trump’s ordered deployment, but under a nonfederal status. Their mission — part crackdown on “crime” & part sanitation duty — is expected to last until the end of the year. Additionally, there is an ongoing Guard presence in #Memphis & #NewOrleans, but those missions, while funded by the #FederalGovernment under a novel agreement with the #Trump admin, are overseen by each #state’s #governor.

In late Dec, #SCOTUS issued a temporary order blocking #Trump from carrying out the #Chicago deployment because, it said, the president’s ability to federalize the #NationalGuard likely applies only in “exceptional” circumstances. The ruling has called into question any broader plans by the admin to use #federal #troops domestically to respond to #civil unrest.
The deployments have cost >$496 million, the Congressional Budget Office reported in Jan. -

@Nonilex I wish that the National Guard troops would shovel snow from the sidewalks of DC. It's still really dangerous to be a pedestrian in many parts of the city. Let the Guard be useful for a change!
