Overview

• President Trump posted an “Apocalypse Now”–style image on Truth Social and reiterated that he intends to send forces to Chicago, drawing sharp rebukes from Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson.
• DHS requested space for roughly 250 agents and 140 vehicles at Naval Station Great Lakes for about a month, with personnel already arriving and the base granting office and storage access through early October, according to CBS.
• Illinois and Chicago leaders say they will sue if troops are deployed, and Johnson signed an order limiting local police cooperation with civil immigration enforcement as organizers cancel or postpone events over safety concerns.
• The District of Columbia sued the administration over what it calls a forced military occupation, as D.C. Guard orders were extended through December during the capital’s public safety emergency.
• A federal judge in California ruled the Los Angeles deployment violated the Posse Comitatus Act and issued an injunction limited to California, with the White House signaling it will appeal.
