In the United States, 200 National Guard troops from Texas are heading to Chicago after a judge declined to block their deployment following two lawsuits filed by the city of Chicago, the state of Illinois, journalists and protesters. This is Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.
Mayor Brandon Johnson: “I promise that the city of Chicago will do everything in our power to protect the constitutional rights of all Chicagoans. This lawsuit is the latest demonstration of our commitment. Let me be absolutely clear: The president is not sending military troops to Chicago to keep us safe. We know this because Trump has a history of targeting Chicago.”
