00:00In this context, President Donald Trump authorized the deployment of 300 National Guard soldiers
00:04to the city of Chicago in the state of Illinois.
00:07With the action, the urban center becomes the fifth city in the U.S. where the head of state
00:12has deployed law enforcement to curb protests against his policy of mass deportations.
00:17In this scenario, State Governor J.B. Pritzker rejected White House statements labeling the
00:23parental police as a war zone and accused Republicans of fabricating a crisis for political
00:28purposes.
00:29The move has been denounced as part of a strategy to stigmatize cities governed by Trump's
00:34political opponents as centers of violence as means to justify unprecedented federal intervention.
