The length of the Texas National Guard’s deployment to Illinois, where roughly 200 soldiers spent less than a day performing mission work in support of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort. The troops spent a day guarding a federal detention center in Broadview before a federal judge halted their deployment but allowed them to remain housed at an Army Reserve training center. The troops were ordered to leave on Monday, with all non-permanent personnel to clear out by Friday. Their departure is the latest sign that “Operation Midway Blitz” is winding down. Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino has been reassigned and most federal agents have redeployed.
