Trump Using FBI to ‘Intimidate’ Congress, US Lawmakers Cry Out

Several US Democratic lawmakers have publicly accused President Donald Trump of using the FBI to intimidate Congress. The lawmakers—including Reps. Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, Chrissy Houlahan, and Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin—say the FBI contacted Congress’s Sergeants at Arms to request interviews following the group’s viral video urging military personnel to refuse illegal orders from Trump. They described the agency’s actions as an attempt to “harass and intimidate” elected officials who have openly criticized Trump, vowing not to be silenced. Senator Slotkin claimed the inquiry arose because Trump objected to the video. Senator Kelly, a decorated Navy veteran and astronaut, is facing possible court-martial proceedings, but insists he will not be silenced. Trump had previously labelled the lawmakers “traitors,” punishable by death, on social media, and called for their imprisonment. Law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and […]

Millions Join ‘No Kings’ Anti-Trump Protests Across US Cities

Millions of Americans participated in "No Kings" protests across major US cities, voicing strong opposition to President Donald Trump's policies and his expansion of presidential power. The large but peaceful demonstrations took place in New York, Washington DC, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Protesters held signs with slogans like "Democracy not Monarchy," expressing concern that the administration's actions are a threat to American democracy.

Trump Brands US Cities ‘War Zones,’ Deploys Troops

The Trump administration has described major US cities as "war zones" to justify deploying National Guard troops against the will of local Democratic leaders. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Chicago a "war zone" on Sunday, defending President Trump's decision to send 300 soldiers there. This move was opposed by Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who accused the administration of wanting to "create the war zone" to justify more military presence. The strategy faced a legal setback when a federal judge blocked a similar deployment to Portland, Oregon. The judge stated the president's determination was "untethered to the facts" and emphasized that the US is "a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law." The deployments are part of a broader anti-crime and immigration crackdown focused on Democrat-run cities, which has sparked protests and legal challenges. A recent poll found that 58% […]

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. Judge Karin Immergut said the president’s justification for the deployment was “untethered to the facts” and violated constitutional limits. Immergut ruled that the federal […]

Residents Push Back as Trump Considers Sending Troops

In Chicago’s South Side, residents say their battle is not just against crime, but for the future of their youth. Driving through neighborhoods marked by high violence, we stopped in Bronzeville at the site of a drive-by shooting last weekend that left seven people wounded. The attack happened just a block away from Chicago Police Headquarters. It was one of many incidents over the Labor Day weekend, during which at least 58 people were shot and eight killed across the city. Rob White, a community coach working with young men trying to leave gang life, said the violence is crushing for residents. “You can imagine how people feel with this happening right under the shadow of a giant police building,” he told us. President Donald Trump has vowed to send National Guard troops into another US city to tackle violent […]

Trump Reportedly Plans National Guard Deployment in Chicago

The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago as part of its broader crackdown on crime and immigration, according to The Washington Post. Citing unnamed officials, the paper reported that the Pentagon has been drafting plans that could see several thousand Guard members sent to the city as early as September. The Pentagon declined to confirm the reports, saying only that it regularly coordinates with other agencies to protect federal assets and personnel. The development comes weeks after President Trump authorized National Guard deployments in Washington, D.C., and previously in Los Angeles, where thousands of Guard members and Marines were sent despite state-level opposition. Trump has since suggested that New York could follow Chicago in receiving similar deployments. “We’re going to make our cities very, very safe,” Trump told reporters on Friday. The possible deployment […]
