National Guard troops were withdrawn from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland following legal challenges to their deployment. The move followed a series of federal court rulings against the administration's use of military forces in urban areas.

The deployments had been ordered by Trump as part of a broader strategy on immigration and crime. Federal judges had previously ruled that the use of National Guard troops in these cities exceeded executive authority.

Los Angeles had been the first city to see National Guard troops deployed in June. The final 100 troops were withdrawn after a federal court ordered the return of control to state authorities. The administration had already begun reducing troop levels in the three cities before the formal announcement.
