National Guard troops will not be deployed to Chicago for the foreseeable future after a judge extended a temporary restraining order indefinitely, unless the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes.

In other cities, deployments face delays: Portland, Oregon, may see troops in several days, while federal appeals courts are reviewing whether hundreds of California Guard members should remain under federal control.

President Trump’s efforts to send the military into Democratic-led cities have triggered numerous lawsuits and conflicting court decisions.

Legal battles over these deployments highlight a long-standing constitutional debate over federal authority versus state control of the National Guard, PBS has reported.

The situation remains fluid as courts weigh challenges from local officials resisting federal intervention.
