President Trump has authorized the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago amid rising tensions between federal agents and protesters. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker criticized this move as unpatriotic, while Attorney General Pam Bondi directed federal agencies to assist in protecting ICE facilities. Clashes have escalated, with reports of violence against protesters, including a pastor. Concerns about racial profiling and aggressive tactics by federal agents have increased, leading to calls for restraint from local authorities.
