Trump deploys National Guard to Chicago despite local objections

President Trump has authorized the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago following an incident where a woman rammed a car into ICE vehicles. White House officials stated the troops are to protect federal officers and assets, with Trump vowing not to ignore "lawlessness" in cities. Governor Pritzker criticized the move as "outrageous" and a power play by the administration, especially after a federal judge temporarily blocked a similar National Guard deployment in Portland. Protests against the increased federal presence have occurred near an ICE facility outside Chicago.
