Five hundred members of the National Guard today were developed in the Chicago region, as part of Donald Trump’s anti -immigration campaign, to great disappointment of local officials calling for justice to block this operation.

About 200 Texas National Guard members and 300 members of this reserve body in the state of Illinois, where Chicago is located, began their operations in the area, the US military announced last night.

“These soldiers are employed to protect immigration and customs services,” the press release said. According to US media today, members of the National Guard have been seen entering a center of the Federal Ice Police (Ice) in the suburbs of Chicago.

The city, the largest of Illinois and the third largest in the country, is one of the focus of the US president’s anti -immigration campaign, which has triggered charges of human rights violations and authoritarianism, demonstrations and appeals to justice.

Democratic elected officials question the legality of the development of military courts and the federal judge of the case has set a hearing for today.

The Republican president has already sent members of the National Guard to democratic cities, such as Los Angeles and Washington, every time against the wishes of local authorities. In Portland, the development of military was temporarily suspended following a court ruling.

The Trump administration estimates that the army is necessary in Chicago to protect federal agents during their business in this Democratic stronghold, which Trump describes as a “war zone”.

ICE headquarters “were aimed at real violence and threats of violence”, making it necessary “the help of the Ministry of War”, the Trump administration said in a judicial document.

“Pretext”

Local officials criticize Donald Trump’s policy, “but the responsibility for these rulings should be up to the federal government’s political arms and not the court,” according to the same source.

The Democratic Opposition accuses the Republican Administration of promoting demonstrations against its policy to justify the mission of troops.

Yesterday, Donald Trump called for the prison of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, as well as Illinoi Governor Jay Bi Prizzer, accusing the two Democrats of not protecting ICE members.

Trump “wants to become a dictator,” Jay Bi Prizker, a potential candidate for the Democratic Party for the 2028 presidential election, accused him. “What else is left on the road that will lead to absolute authoritarianism?”

Municipal authorities and the state argue that local law enforcement forces are sufficient in front of possible turmoil.

Donald Trump is accused by his opponents of authoritarian ambitions to the extent that he implements his pre -election promise to deport millions of immigrants.

In recent days, rallies of protesters in front of the Ice headquarters in the suburbs of Chicago have led to episodes.

In a video released widely yesterday, there are agents who have taken a position on the roof of the building to target a pastor between a small group of protesters. The pastor is injured in the head by a pepper projectile and falls to the ground, according to US media.
