President Trump is preparing to send National Guard troops into Chicago and Baltimore, right after a judge in California ruled that he broke the law by deploying troops to Los Angeles against anti-ICE protesters. "This is not about public safety, and it's not about law and order. It's a show of force meant to intimidate, to create fear and send troops to occupy cities, because people in those cities largely and overwhelmingly oppose Donald Trump and his policies," says Jesús "Chuy" García, who grew up in Chicago and now represents the Chicagoland area in Congress.
