Blue state crackdown: Trump authorises 300 National Guard troops to Chicago; 'lawlessness plaguing US,' claims White House
President Trump authorized 300 National Guard troops to Chicago to protect federal officers and assets, citing "lawlessness" and a recent shooting incident involving a federal officer and an armed motorist. This move is part of his broader anti-crime operations in Democratic-run cities, though a similar deployment to Portland was recently blocked by a federal judge.
