Overview

  • President Trump renewed vows to "fix" crime in Chicago, called it the world's most dangerous city, and told reporters the federal government would intervene without specifying timing.
  • U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled the June troop deployment in Los Angeles illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act, with the decision set to take effect on September 12 as appeals proceed.
  • Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an order curbing cooperation with federal agents, and Governor JB Pritzker pledged to fight any deployment in court, calling the push political.
  • The White House has been studying options for sending forces to Chicago, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said ICE operations there will receive additional resources.
  • Chicago police report a 23% year-over-year drop in violent crime in August, while the local Fraternal Order of Police said federal help would be welcome until staffing increases.
