Trump Authorises 300 National Guard Troops To Chicago;

A federal agent shot a motorist in Chicago on Saturday, just hours after a judge blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to deploy military troops in Portland, Oregon. This happened amid an increasingly tense stand-off between Washington and Democratic-run cities. Both incidents come amid the Trump administration’s hardline law-and-order push, marked by mass deportation raids and heavily armed operations in cities such as Los Angeles and Washington. The White House insists these measures are necessary to combat rising crime. Critics, however, say they’re politically driven displays of force.
