Trump admin updates: ICE launches immigration enforcement operation in Boston

President Donald Trump on Tuesday continued to threaten the federal deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago after more than 50 people were shot over Labor Day weekend.

"At least 54 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend, 8 people were killed. The last two weekends were similar. Chicago is the worst and most dangerous city in the World, by far. Pritzker needs help badly, he just doesn’t know it yet. I will solve the crime problem fast, just like I did in DC. Chicago will be safe again, and soon," Trump wrote on his social media platform.

The post comes ahead of Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker's press conference later Tuesday afternoon. Pritzker will speak at 4 p.m. ET "amid reports of federal deployments to Chicago" according to his schedule.

Speaking to a crowd at a Labor Day march in Chicago, an impassioned Mayor Brandon Johnson began his remarks by addressing President Donald Trump’s threats to send federal agents and National Guard troops to the city.

“No federal troops in the city of Chicago. No militarized force in the city of Chicago,” he said to the crowd. "We're going to defend our democracy in the city of Chicago. We're going to protect the humanity of every single person in the city of Chicago.”

Johnson finished his remarks by leading the crowd in a chant of, “No troops in Chicago.”

The Labor Day march was billed as a “Workers Over Billionaires” demonstration.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Sunday said the administration intended "to add more resources" to Chicago. Noem would not divulge specifics about potential plans to deploy the National Guard to U.S. cities, but said, “We haven’t taken anything off the table.”

President Donald Trump announced on Monday that former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani will receive a Presidential Medal of Freedom. The medal is the nation's highest civilian honor.

The announcement comes after Giuliani was injured in a New Hampshire car accident over the weekend. In the announcement, Trump lauded Giuliani's service as mayor, which ran from 1994 to 2001.

"As President of the United States of America, I am pleased to announce that Rudy Giuliani, the greatest Mayor in the history of New York City, and an equally great American Patriot, will receive THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM, our Country’s highest civilian honor. Details as to time and place to follow," Trump wrote on his social media platform.

Giuliani is out of the hospital and in good spirits, someone familiar with his condition told ABC News. He remains in New Hampshire, they said.

Ted Goodman, the Giuliani aide who was driving the Ford Bronco involved in the accident, responded to Trump’s announcement with a statement.

"There is no American more deserving of this honor. Mayor Rudy Giuliani took down the Mafia, saved New York City, comforted the nation following 9/11, and served in countless other ways to improve the lives of others," he said. "Thank you, President Trump, for honoring his life and legacy."

Giuliani was disbarred in New York and the District of Columbia in 2024 over his efforts aiding Trump's bid to overturn the 2020 election.
