where the White House has confirmed that
President Trump plans to send 300
National Guard troops to Chicago. In a
statement, the White House said amidst
ongoing violent riots and lawlessness
that local leaders like Pritska have
refused to step in to quail, President
Trump has authorized 300 National
Guardsmen to protect federal officers
and assets. President Trump will not
turn a blind eye to the lawlessness
plaguing American cities. It comes after
an earlier statement from Illinois
Governor JB Pritsker, who the White
House referenced in that statement. He
was given an ultimatum by the Trump
administration's Department of War. Call
up your troops or we will. A few hours
before that statement, it was announced
that Border Patrol agents had shot and
wounded an armed woman who was part of a
group of people blocking their movement
in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood.
Now, this protest erupted in the
aftermath. Federal agents fired tear
gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets at
protesters who have been trying to stop
immigration raids. Kim Belair is a
breaking news reporter for the
Washington Post based in Chicago. I
spoke to her about the announcement from
the White House.
This is something that city officials,
state officials, and Chicago residents
have been waiting on edge. Will he do
it? Will he do it? And finally, we did
get the news today. And this is
something that's put the city in a just
state of uncertainty and a state of
agitation, I would say, for the past
several weeks. Uh now we're expecting
what the push back is going to be from
officials like Governor JB Pritsker who
has vowed there will be swift legal
action to challenge this in
