National Guard Removal

The United States government has announced that it will be removing the National Guard from Chicago, LA, and Portland. This decision comes after a series of protests and demonstrations in these cities in 2025.

According to a statement from the White House, the National Guard was deployed to these cities to maintain order and protect public safety. However, with the situation now under control, the government has deemed it unnecessary to keep the National Guard in these areas.

Background

The National Guard was deployed to these cities in response to a series of protests and demonstrations that took place in 2025. The protests were sparked by a number of issues, including police brutality, racial inequality, and economic injustice.

Reaction

The decision to remove the National Guard has been met with mixed reactions from the public. Some have welcomed the move, seeing it as a sign that the government is committed to restoring civil liberties and ending the state of emergency.

Others have expressed concern, arguing that the removal of the National Guard will leave these cities vulnerable to further violence and unrest.
