Federal officials have announced a sweeping immigration plan targeting Chicago under the name “Operation Midway Blitz.” The move has stirred anxieties in the nation’s third-largest city, with President Trump voicing support for the operation.

The nation’s capital is taking legal action against the Trump administration, alleging that placing the D.C. police department under federal control and deploying hundreds of National Guard troops infringed on local autonomy. The conflict highlights simmering tensions over federal intervention in local law enforcement.

Former President Donald Trump’s executive order establishing a specialized National Guard unit has sparked debate about crime in Washington, D.C., and beyond. Multiple sources, including NPR and CNN, offer differing views on whether this step addresses urgent security needs or sets a worrisome precedent.
