Chicago Braces For National Guard Deployment, Immigration Agents

2025-09-03 08:07:52

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Chicago community leaders on Wednesday pressed forward with preparations for the anticipated arrival of National Guard troops and immigration agents, urging residents to know their rights and mobilizing protests with renewed urgency, as reported by AP.

Details about the operation are scant, but President Donald Trump has amped up the rhetoric about crime in the nation's third-largest city, saying an immigration crackdown and National Guard deployment are planned despite the objections of local leaders and a federal court ruling that a similar deployment in Los Angeles was illegal.

The preparations seem familiar in the Democratic stronghold that's often found itself in Trump's crosshairs.
