Another increase in government intervention in American cities occurred on Saturday when President Donald Trump approved the deployment of 300 Illinois National Guard members to guard federal officers and property in Chicago.
In a statement, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said, “The Trump administration gave me an ultimatum this morning: call up your troops or we will do it.” “To demand that the governor send troops into our territory against our will is absolutely outrageous and unpatriotic.”
Additionally, Attorney General Pam Bondi sent out a statement instructing the FBI and other Justice Department agencies to help safeguard US Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, including those in Portland and Chicago.
The same morning, demonstrators were brutally attacked by ICE officers under the command of Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino outside the suburban ICE facility in Broadview, which houses detainees from Operation Midway Blitz.
Pastor Michael Woolf of Evanston’s Lake Street Church was protesting in front of the center when one of the agents shoved him and put his hands around his neck, according to a local reporter for the local news website Block Club Chicago.
