The White House is weighing the Insurrection Act to deploy troops domestically, JD Vance said Sunday, as courts block attempts to use federalized National Guard in Democratic-run cities. A Chicago judge halted deployments, citing no credible evidence of rebellion in Illinois. Trump has said he would enact the law if needed. Vance warned of out‑of‑control crime, even as violent crime has fallen in major cities. He suggested Governor JB Pritzker should face “consequences,” drawing a sharp rebuttal, while the federal government shutdown reached day 12.
