flag Two federal courts debated President Trump’s use of the Insurrection Act to deploy federalized National Guard troops to Portland and Chicago, questioning the legality of basing deployments on past unrest.

flag Two federal courts heard arguments on October 10, 2025, over President Trump’s deployment of federalized National Guard troops to Portland and Chicago, raising key questions about presidential authority under the Insurrection Act. flag In Portland, a 9th Circuit panel reviewed a ban on deploying hundreds of federalized troops, with Oregon officials challenging the administration’s claim of ongoing threats, arguing the justification relies on past events rather than current conditions. flag In Chicago, a federal judge considered a similar ban, as a small number of Texas troops guarded an ICE facility but no large-scale patrols occurred. flag The Justice Department asserted broad presidential discretion, while judges expressed skepticism about the government’s claims. flag The cases, which touch on executive power, judicial review, and civil liberties, may set major precedents on military deployment and could lead to appeals, with rulings expected within 48 hours.
