Illinois

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and other Democrats have opposed the president’s deployment of National Guard to Chicago, America’s third-largest city.

‘Rioters have been charged with arson and assaulting police officers … this isn’t a peaceful protest that’s under control,’ a White House spokeswoman said.

The administration’s actions have raised legal questions about the balance of power between state and federal authorities.

The president said the situation in Portland is a ‘criminal insurrection’ after a federal judge temporarily blocked his plan to deploy troops to the city.

A Homeland Security spokesperson told The Epoch Times that the move would lead to violence against ICE agents.

One of the defendants was shot by a CBP agent during the incident, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Illinois argues that the federal government is overreaching.

About 200 members of the California National Guard from Los Angeles were reassigned to Portland, according to the Pentagon.

This comes as federal officers were rammed and fired upon near Chicago, amid protests against immigration enforcement.

The projects have been placed under review as the Transportation Department investigates whether Chicago’s contracting policies violate constitutional rules.

Pentagon says it has received deployment request to help protect federal personnel and property, as tensions rise over immigration enforcement in Chicago.

The department said more than 400,000 illegal immigrants have been arrested, 70 percent of whom have criminal convictions or have been charged with crimes.

Officials say the operation gets dangerous criminals off Chicago’s streets, while Gov. JB Pritzker says it spreads fear.

Union members will vote on Friday on whether or not to accept the deal.

ICE agents have been stationed at Naval Station Great Lakes, a military base outside Chicago.

The president shared a meme captioned, ‘Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR.’

The remarks come after President Donald Trump on Tuesday said ‘we’re going in’ to the crime-heavy Midwest city.
