Where things stand with Trump's National Guard threats in Chicago and other cities
"We won't let anyone rain on our parade,"
"Honestly, it's the support of the community that we have gotten that has kept us going,"
"I'm not intimidated and no one should be,"
"unidentified agents in unmarked vehicles"
President Trump mentioned Chicago, Baltimore and New Orleans as possible sites for National Guard or federal agent deployment aimed at curbing crime, despite data showing crime declines in those cities. The move follows recent National Guard use in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. Organizers of a Mexican Independence celebration in Chicago are increasing volunteer presence and distributing know-your-rights cards; at least one other event was postponed over concerns about immigration raids and troop deployment. Chicago officials encouraged residents to attend events and said they would monitor the situation, while state leaders warned about unidentified agents operating in Latino neighborhoods.
