President Trump has authorized the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago to support federal officers amid rising tensions and protests against ICE operations. The decision comes after a series of confrontations, including an incident where a woman was shot by Border Patrol personnel during a protest. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker condemned the deployment, stating it undermines local authority and is unnecessary for public safety. Protests have intensified in Chicago and other Democratic-run cities, with demonstrators accusing federal forces of heavy-handed tactics. Meanwhile, a federal judge in Oregon has temporarily blocked a similar deployment in Portland, highlighting the contentious nature of federal troop deployments in response to civil unrest.
