President Trump said Wednesday he’s removing National Guard troops from Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland, at least for now. In a social media post, Trump wrote, "We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again, only a question of time."

Troops had already left Los Angeles after a judge’s ruling blocked their deployment earlier this month. And while forces had been sent to Chicago and Portland, they were largely kept off the streets as legal challenges play out.
