In a recent article about the deployment of Federal Troops to Oregon, the Associated Press published the following text:
Trump has already tested the limits of a nearly 150-year-old federal law, the Posse Comitatus Act, that restricts the military’s role in enforcing domestic laws.
He has sent National Guard and active duty Marines to Los Angeles, threatened to do the same to combat crime and illegal immigration in other Democratic-led cities, including Portland and Chicago, and surged troops to the U.S.-Mexico border.
National Guard members are generally exempt from the law because they’re under state control. But the law does apply when they’re “federalized” and put under the president’s control, as happened in LA over the Democratic governor’s objections.

In the revised version there is no mention of Chicago and Portland, which I find a bit curious. Tell me what you think HERE.
