| | As President Trump continues to threaten a federal incursion in Chicago, he’s also using it to fundraise. On Wednesday, his campaign sought $15 to “LIBERATE CHICAGO – SAVE AMERICA.” | | | Plans for the deployment of approximately 300 ICE agents for operations in Chicago and possibly elsewhere in the area were disclosed Wednesday morning. | | | A federal judge in Boston on Wednesday ordered the reversal of the Trump administration’s cuts to more than $2.6 billion in funding research grants for Harvard University. | | | President Donald Trump suggested Wednesday that New Orleans could be his next target for deploying the National Guard to fight crime, potentially expanding the number of cities around the nation where he may send federal law enforcement. | | | At issue was whether a constitutional test requiring gun laws to be “historically” consistent with laws on the books in the 18th century or earlier was applied correctly. | | | Veterans and lawyers also asked Gov. JB Pritzker to offer more material protections for National Guard members who resist federal orders on domestic deployment. | | | New temporary rules allow state corrections officials to electronically scan and digitize incoming mail to print it for a person incarcerated or send it to them electronically. | | | Gov. Mike Braun appointed five members to the Indiana-Illinois Boundary Adjustment Commission, which is one member less than the quorum needed for the commission to have voting power. | | | |
