Crime Policy
US sends National Guard to Chicago: "Obligation"

Donald Trump made a clear statement about whether his administration should send the National Guard to Chicago or not when he spoke from the White House.

- We will go in, he said, according to American media.

The president, who has repeatedly indicated that he wants to send federal forces to the city, emphasizes that there is no time frame. His threat to interfere in crime control and immigration policy in several American cities has been criticized by Democratic governors and mayors.

- This is not political. I have an obligation, says Trump, adding that people are dying.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker was quick to respond to the president's statement.

- None of this is about fighting crime or making Chicago safer, he said, according to Reuters.

Rubio: Blowing up drug ships works

The US will attack more ships that Latin American cartels use to transport drugs. This is what the country's Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the day after the US killed several cartel members from Venezuela who were traveling on such a boat.

- Banning drug ships has not worked, but blowing them up will put an end to them, he says.

He also says that President Trump will fight all "narco-terrorists" and has the right to attack threats to the US.

- And if you are on a boat filled with cocaine and fentanyl, you are a direct threat to the US, Rubio adds.

11 Gang Members Reportedly Killed: “A Warning”

Eleven members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua cartel were killed in the US attack on a ship off the Latin American country on Tuesday night, Donald Trump said, according to Reuters.

The Pentagon has shared a clip that reportedly shows the attack on what the White House calls “narco-terrorists.” It took place in international waters and the ship contained drugs that were to be brought to the United States, according to the statement.

“Let this be a warning to anyone even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States.”

Trump’s USA  The Border Issue
Another Court Blocks Trump’s Deportations

A federal court consisting of several conservative judges has ruled that Donald Trump’s deportation of Venezuelan migrants citing centuries-old martial law was illegal, reports the Washington Post.

The deportations, which took place in early 2025, were pushed through under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. The law has only been invoked three times before, all during times of war.

Alien Enemies Act — the case at hand

• Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport Venezuelan migrants in March 2025.
• The law has historically been used in wartime, most recently against Japanese-Americans during World War II.
• A federal judge blocked Trump’s attempt to use the law to deport people to El Salvador and ordered the planes to turn back.
• The Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court, which in May 2025 denied the request to resume the deportations.
• Trump later denied signing the deportation order and referred to his Secretary of State.
