Trump Administration Plans National Guard Deployment in Chicago Amid Immigration Enforcement Operations

The Trump administration is poised to launch a significant immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, potentially deploying the National Guard as part of these efforts. Governor JB Pritzker has publicly condemned this plan, emphasizing that he has received no communication from the White House regarding the deployment. Chicago officials are preparing for the possibility of federal troop presence amidst rising tensions and fears within the community. Pritzker and local leaders have expressed that such actions would be seen as politically motivated and an abuse of power. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is reportedly in discussions to use a nearby naval base to facilitate operations involving ICE agents in the city. As the situation unfolds, Chicago residents and officials are voicing their opposition to what they perceive as a military crackdown in their city.
