Chicago Prepares for Federal and Immigration Crackdowns Amid White House Plans

Chicago officials are preparing for the potential deployment of federal troops and National Guard units without clear guidance from the White House, emphasizing that they will not assist with immigration enforcement or clearing homeless encampments, and calling the deployment unconstitutional. Local authorities seek communication and clarity on the troops' roles, while stressing that federal troops will have no policing powers under the Posse Comitatus Act.
