US EditionTrump says Chicago mayor, Illinois governor 'should be in jail for failing to protect' ICE officers
- On Wednesday, October 8, President Donald Trump publicly called for the imprisonment of Chicago’s mayor and Illinois’s governor, accusing them of failing to adequately protect ICE agents.
- This statement followed weeks of rising tensions after the White House ordered National Guard troops to Chicago on October 4, despite vocal opposition from state and city officials.
- Governor Pritzker criticized the federal deployment as a 'manufactured performance' and said calling in troops within state borders is 'outrageous' and unnecessary.
- Chicago and Illinois responded by filing a lawsuit on Monday, arguing that the troop deployment is 'unlawful and dangerous,' while a federal judge allowed troops' presence pending an October 9 hearing.
- The standoff underscores deep conflict between local leaders and the Trump administration as protests, arrests, and federal immigration raids add to the unrest in Chicago.
