The Trump administration deployed 300 National Guard troops to Chicago without state consent, calling it a "war zone."
The Trump administration declared Chicago a "war zone" and deployed 300 National Guard troops without state consent, sparking condemnation from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson, who accused the federal government of fabricating a crisis to justify military intervention.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the move, citing threats to federal agents, including a shooting in which a U.S. citizen was killed during a traffic stop.
A federal judge in Portland blocked a similar deployment, ruling the emergency claim lacked evidence.
Critics, including California’s Gavin Newsom, called the actions a political overreach, with a CBS poll showing 58% of Americans oppose such deployments.
Pritzker alleged federal raids caused chaos, detained U.S. citizens, and worsened tensions, while state leaders denounced the federal use of military force as unconstitutional and un-American.
