Trump's National Guard Deployment Faces Legal Challenges

President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago to address what he calls 'out-of-control crime'. The move comes after immigration authorities faced off with protesters in the city and shot an armed woman who rammed her car into law enforcement vehicles. State and local leaders have criticized Trump's deployment plans, calling it an abuse of power. The deployment is likely to face legal challenges, raising constitutional questions about the use of National Guard troops in domestic matters. Chicago has seen an increase in protests over immigration enforcement, and violent crime remains a concern, although the homicide rate has fallen significantly over the past two years.

Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes claims she was handcuffed by two Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents while attempting to visit a man detained by ICE at a hospital emergency room. The incident has sparked controversy and raised questions about the role of ICE in local communities. Other news stories covered include a Department of Homeland Security video of an ICE raid in Chicago, a potential Gaza peace plan, and various international news updates.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's plan to deploy National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, citing a violation of the US Constitution and federal law. The decision came on the same day that federal agents used tear gas and mace on protesters in Portland. The White House has disputed the ruling, saying the president will be 'vindicated' by a higher court. The protests in Portland have been ongoing for over 100 days, with Antifa agitators clashing with federal agents and vandalizing an ICE detention center. The Trump administration has responded by announcing plans to cut federal funding to Portland.

A federal judge in Oregon has blocked President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to Portland, citing concerns that the president exceeded his constitutional authority. The decision comes amid ongoing protests at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland. The judge ruled that the president's actions likely violated the 10th Amendment and that the situation did not meet the legal standard for mobilizing federal troops. The Trump administration has appealed the decision, with a White House spokeswoman stating that the president exercised his lawful authority to protect federal assets and personnel.
