President Trump has authorized the deployment of 300 Illinois National Guard troops to Chicago, claiming there are ongoing violent riots and lawlessness in the city. The White House said Trump will not ignore unrest in American cities.
However, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker strongly opposed this decision, calling it a manufactured performance and unnecessary intervention. He believes the administration's demand for military troops is un-American and more about control than safety.
During immigration enforcement operations in Chicago, border patrol agents shot a US citizen woman who they said tried to run them over with a vehicle. She was armed and was treated at a hospital before being released. This follows another shooting of a Mexican immigrant by federal agents.
Trump has been deploying troops to multiple cities, claiming to address crime and immigration issues, though his crime statistics have been questioned.
