"President Donald Trump went on a social media binge on Sunday evening, posting 12 times in the span of 15 minutes on his platform, Truth Social, as news and video clips of U.S. troops patrolling Chicago began circulating. The Windy City was the focus of many of the president's posts or more accurately, re-posts, as he shared several X links of troops roaming The Windy City. He re-shared one clip, initially posted by Eric Daugherty on X, that showed federal troops walking around downtown Chicago."
"WOW! The federal takeover in Chicago is ramping up MANY US Border Patrol agents were spotted roaming the sidewalks on North Michigan Avenue. Border Patrol is also present in the Chicago River, and local Democrats are furious. Stay safe, heroes! pic.twitter.com/8ht6Vi3eSf Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) September 28, 2025 Trump also shared a clip from The Blaze that showed protestors yelling at immigration agents; one woman, holding a Mexican flag in the video, screamed at the agents We don't want you here. Leave!"
"His Truth flurry came after Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) blasted the president for his brazen provocation. Johnson, in an X post, said he was aware of troops and immigration agents in his city. While Chicagoans and visitors are enjoying another gorgeous Sunday, they are being intimidated and threatened by masked federal agents flaunting automatic weapons for no apparent reason, Johnson posted."
