Chicago Moves to Remove Federal Troops After Riots
Chicago officials asked President Johnson to withdraw federal troops and return Illinois National Guard control after three days of rioting sparked by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s assassination. Brig. Gen. Mather led 12,000 troops with Army units from 1st Armored Division and 5th Mech Infantry. Curfew lifted for under 21. Four arson charges tied to West Side fires amid protests. Brooks called the King assassination a major trigger. A battalion moved from Jackson Park to O’Hare to prep for troop withdrawal.
