“… No law enforcement officers were seriously injured in the incident in which a group that included the woman rammed cars into vehicles used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said in a statement.

“Amidst ongoing violent riots and lawlessness, that local leaders like Pritzker have refused to step in to quell, President Trump has authorized 300 national guardsmen to protect federal officers and assets,” Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, said Saturday evening. “President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities.”
“… Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, said in a statement that the Trump administration has issued him an “ultimatum” that state National Guard troops be deployed to Chicago or those troops would be sent in under federal command.
Pritzker said he rebuffed the administration’s demands, but he now expects 300 National Guard troops to be federalized soon.
The White House said the move would be taken to “protect federal officers.”
“President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities,” a White House spokesperson said in a statement.…”
“He’s [Pritzker] wrong … I really believe he’s afraid for his life, somehow. … there’s no place like that in the world, hundreds of people wounded. … Washington DC went from a hellhole to a safe place (points) I love the way you nod, is it true though? [says a lot of the reporters standing there were mugged] and you know what, you’re safe now, no crime, 12 days to solve the problem, 12 days and we’re gonna do that Chicago, we’re gonna do that in Portland.
Now Portlands different. That’s a bunch of paid insurrectionists but you have a lot of paid people in Chicago too. I believe the politicians are under threat because there’s no way somebody can say that things are wonderful in Chicago. …”
