The article notes federal Guard numbers in Los Angeles and Portland had already fallen and that Illinois troops in Chicago were not engaged in federal protection activities. Governors Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker,both positioning themselves for future Democratic presidential bids,opposed the deployments,which the piece frames as politically contentious. The report emphasizes Trump&#8217;s frustration with local leaders and describes portland as a longstanding flashpoint for violent protests, while stressing that the administration isn&#8217;t abandoning the issue permanently.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In the face of stubborn Democratic resistance and a divided Supreme Court decision last week, President Donald Trump is stepping back from National Guard deployments in three liberal-dominated cities.<\/p>\n<p>In a post Wednesday on , Trump announced he is ending the Guard&rsquo;s presence in three liberal cities &mdash;
