• Legal disputes are unfolding in Democratic-led cities where the Trump administration is pushing to deploy troops in response to what it claims is violent resistance to immigration enforcement.
• In Illinois, a federal judge who has said the White House is “equating protests with riots,” extended an order temporarily blocking National Guard troops from being sent to the state. Trump is urging the Supreme Court to allow the deployment in Chicago.
• And Oregon, with the city of Portland, is pushing for an appeals court to reconsider a ruling allowing the federal government to deploy the National Guard.

Law enforcement fired shots at U-Haul truck outside Coast Guard base in Alameda
Law enforcement officers fired shots at a U-Haul truck backing toward them outside the Coast Guard base in Alameda, California, where a protest had taken place against an anticipated federal deployment in the San Francisco Bay Area.
At around 10:00 p.m. Thursday, Coast Guard security observed “a vehicle driving erratically and attempting to back into Coast Guard Base Alameda,” Coast Guard spokesperson Sondra-Kay Kneen told CNN in a statement.
The spokesperson said the driver ignored their repeated commands to stop and continued reversing.
No Coast Guard members were injured during the incident, Kneen said. It remains unclear if anyone else was injured or detained.
A KPIX photographer at the scene, Rick Villaroman, said the U-Haul had been parked outside the base “all day.”
“It seemed like he was just getting a little more courageous. Bystanders were saying, ‘Don’t do it. It’s not worth it,’” Villaroman told a reporter at CNN affiliate KPIX. But despite the warnings, the driver accelerated, he said.
The driver fled after the shooting, according to Villaroman, who told the reporter he saw multiple bullet holes in the U-Haul afterwards.
Police in Oakland, where the entrance to Coast Guard Base Alameda is located, and the California Highway Patrol, which arrested two people at the protest, did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.
CNN has also reached out to the Alameda Police Department and the Department of Homeland Security for details.
Two arrested after protest blocked access to Coast Guard Island
Two people were arrested Thursday outside Coast Guard Island in Alameda after the California Highway Patrol declared a protest an unlawful assembly, a CHP spokesperson said.
Protesters had blocked Customs and Border Protection vehicles outside the Coast Guard base in opposition to an anticipated deployment of federal agents to the area.
President Donald Trump has since called off plans to “surge” federal law enforcement and immigration resources to the San Francisco Bay Area, citing conversations with “friends” and the city’s mayor.
CHP Sergeant Andrew Barclay said the demonstrators had blocked the roadway, preventing emergency medical crews from passing through and preventing Coast Guard members from leaving the island. Footage showed flash-bangs being deployed.
“Two individuals out of the group refused to move and were arrested,” Barclay said.
Details on the charges were not immediately available.
The Coast Guard did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.
