Chicago Prepares for Potential National Guard Deployment Amid Tensions

As President Trump signals a possible deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago amid rising violence and immigration concerns, local officials and residents express mixed feelings about the intervention. Chicago Mayor has signed orders to resist the federal presence, while state Governor JB Pritzker warns of legal challenges if troops are sent. The estimated cost of such deployment could reach nearly $1.6 million a day, raising concerns over financial implications. With significant opposition from the local community and a poll showing that most Americans are against sending the National Guard to major cities, the situation develops as fears of escalating tensions loom. Chicago authorities are preparing for potential actions, and the city has handed out safety tips as it braces for a possible federal takeover.
