30.08.2025 โข The day federal crackdowns met city resistance
โจThe day began with widespread reporting on the appeals court reiterating its finding that many of President Trump's tariffs were illegal, leaving them in place pending a likely Supreme Court appeal, a direct continuation from the previous day. Concurrently, a federal judge blocked the administration's expanded speedy deportation efforts. As the day progressed, media focus intensified on the Trump administration's broader federal actions. In the afternoon, reports detailed plans for immigration enforcement sweeps from a Chicago naval base, sparking liberal criticism, and concerns about potential crime spikes linked to migrant dispersal. By evening, coverage highlighted an escalating federal presence, with detentions by ICE, federal agents deployed in local policing, and Justice Department attorneys resigning over reassignments to sanctuary cities. This federal surge prompted a strong response, notably with Chicago's mayor signing an order to actively combat potential federal crackdowns on crime and immigration, signaling growing city resistance. Updates also confirmed California Highway Patrol would protect Kamala Harris after her Secret Service detail was withdrawn.
