Judges have stalled President Donald Trump’s plans to deploy the National Guard in Chicago and in Portland, Oregon, but troops are now patrolling in Memphis, Tennessee, with the blessing of the state’s governor.

The troops, dressed in Guard fatigues and protective vests, with guns in their holsters, patrolled at a Bass Pro Shops store and a nearby tourist welcome center beside the Mississippi River on Friday. It was unclear how many troops have been deployed to Memphis.

Trump has sent or discussed sending troops to other cities as well, including Baltimore; the District of Columbia; New Orleans; and the California cities of Oakland, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The federal government says the troops support immigration agents and protect federal property.

The Guard troops in Memphis remain under the command of Republican Gov. Bill Lee, who supports their use to further a federal crackdown on crime.

In contrast, Trump has attempted to deploy National Guard troops — including some from Texas and California — in Portland and Chicago after taking control of them himself, over objections from state and local leaders who say such interference violates their sovereignty and federal law. Federal courts in Illinois and Oregon this week blocked Trump’s efforts to send troops out in those cities.

What’s happening in Memphis

Trump announced Sept. 15 that he intended to deploy the Guard to Memphis, and Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, a Republican, embraced the plan to bolster law enforcement operations there.

Mayor Paul Young, a Democrat who did not request the deployment, said he hopes the task force will target violent offenders rather than scare, harass or intimidate residents.

Federal officials report that agents have made hundreds of arrests and issued more than 2,800 traffic citations since the task force began operating in Memphis on Sept. 29.

Illinois senators denied entry to ICE building

Illinois Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth claimed they were denied access Friday to the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, a site of confrontations between protesters and federal agents.

“It is appalling that two United States senators are not allowed to visit this facility,” Duckworth said. “What are you afraid of?”

The senators asserted their congressional oversight authority.

“Something is going on in there they don’t want us to see,” Durbin added.

Illinois judge blocks troop deployment

A federal judge recently blocked the deployment of troops in Chicago for at least two weeks. The Justice Department has already appealed this decision.

U.S. District Judge April Perry ruled that the Trump administration had violated the 10th and 14th Amendments by ordering the deployment of National Guard troops to the city.

In a written order, she noted the historical aversion to military involvement in domestic policing.

Oregon judge also blocks Trump efforts

Another court battle in Oregon earlier delayed a similar troop deployment to Portland. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has been hearing arguments in that case.

Troops patrol outside Chicago

Five hundred guard members from Texas and Illinois arrived this week and have been activated for 60 days. They started patrolling Thursday morning outside the ICE Broadview facility.

A federal judge ordered ICE to remove a separate 8-foot-tall fence after the Village of Broadview said it illegally obstructs a public street.

Also, another federal judge in Illinois ordered agents to wear visible badges and barred them from using certain riot control measures against peaceful protesters.

In Chicago, federal prosecutors have indicted two individuals for allegedly assaulting a federal officer with their vehicle during a recent protest.
