Overview

• Trump told reporters "we're going in" to Chicago without providing a timetable and also signaled Baltimore as a possible target for future action.
• DHS and ICE are preparing to scale up operations in Chicago, with a request for logistical support at Naval Station Great Lakes, according to officials and local reporting.
• Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order directing police not to cooperate with military patrols or civil immigration enforcement, and Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul plans to sue once any intervention begins.
• A federal judge ruled the administration’s earlier Los Angeles deployment violated federal law and barred ordering Guard members or Marines to perform police functions, creating an immediate legal constraint on similar efforts.
• Trump cites a violent Labor Day weekend with more than 50 people shot, while city data show year-to-date declines in shootings and homicides that local officials say undercut the case for federal action.
