Patriots, if you were hoping for a show of force that screams “America’s finest” when President Trump sent the Texas National Guard to tame the crime-riddled streets of Chicago, this viral photo might leave you scratching your head—and not in a good way. On Tuesday, October 7, 2025, members of the Texas National Guard rolled into the U.S. Army Reserve Center in Elwood, Illinois—about 55 miles southwest of the Windy City—setting up camp with trailers, portable toilets, and extra fencing. It’s the most visible sign yet of Trump’s no-nonsense plan to deploy troops despite furious pushback from Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who whined about not getting a heads-up and accused the president of using soldiers as “political props” and “pawns.”
Pete's memo hasn't reached Texas ANG.
Looks like the dudes who went looking for Rambo. Bi-annual beep tests can’t come soon enough!
