“Texas national guard troops have arrived in the Chicago area, marking an escalation of Donald Trump’s crackdown on the city. Chicago has already seen a ramping up of [ICE gang abductions] in the past few weeks, as well as increasingly violent altercations in the suburb of Broadview, where law enforcement has been filmed deploying tear gas and pepper gas against protestors. The latest military presence comes after April Perry, a US district judge, declined to immediately block troops from entering the city amid a pending lawsuit from the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago against the Trump administration’s actions.” (10/07/25)
