Overview

  • California Governor Gavin Newsom posted Reuters-circulated footage of Narendra Modi with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping from the Tianjin SCO summit, writing, “But have no fear, Trump is sending the Guard to Chicago.”
  • The clip shows Modi and Putin walking hand in hand before joining Xi, with the three leaders laughing together and posing at the 25th SCO gathering in China.
  • President Trump has threatened to send National Guard troops and federal agents to Chicago as part of a public-safety and immigration crackdown, drawing sharp opposition from Democratic officials.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said ICE operations in Chicago and elsewhere will be bolstered and noted that Trump will decide on any Guard deployment.
  • DHS reported about 5,000 immigration arrests in the Los Angeles area since June 6, and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker accused Trump of eyeing troop use to influence the 2026 elections as the White House’s Abigail Jackson rebuked Pritzker’s criticism.
