Trump Sends 300 National Guard Troops to Chicago as Tensions Rise

President Donald Trump has approved the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago, citing what he described as spiraling violence and chaos in the city. The decision came shortly after immigration authorities reported a confrontation with protesters that ended in gunfire. Officials said agents opened fire on an armed woman after demonstrators rammed law enforcement vehicles with their cars. Local and state leaders in Illinois swiftly condemned the move, accusing Trump of exploiting the situation for political gain. Governor JB Pritzker denounced the deployment as “an attempt to manufacture a crisis.” Meanwhile, a separate legal battle unfolded in Oregon, where a federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from sending 200 federal troops to Portland.
