06.09.2025 ⇢ The day Trump escalated war rhetoric against Chicago
⌨US media on September 6th extensively reported on President Trump's escalating rhetoric and actions regarding immigration enforcement. Following the recent renaming of the Pentagon to the 'Department of War,' headlines focused on Trump's threats of 'Apocalypse Now'-style operations against Chicago to boost deportations, a move met with continued resistance from cities and judicial blocks. Federal judges notably halted rapid-deportation tactics and the end of protected status for Venezuelan and Haitian immigrants, pushing back against the administration's expanding powers. The planned deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Eswatini also remained a prominent, ongoing story. Concurrently, RFK Jr. continued to generate headlines, with his allies energized by vaccine debates, an adviser making controversial claims, and even his family reportedly calling for his resignation. New details about Trump's connections to Jeffrey Epstein also surfaced, adding to the day's political discourse.
