Trump authorises deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago

President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago to address rising crime levels, particularly after a recent incident involving immigration authorities and protesters. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker criticized Trump's move as an abuse of power. A federal judge in Portland recently blocked the administration from deploying troops there, citing concerns about constitutional violations and inflamed tensions. The deployment in Chicago, like other targeted cities, raises legal and constitutional questions regarding the use of the military for domestic matters.
