Trump admin updates: ICE launches immigration enforcement operation in Boston

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, quickly pushed back on President Trump's comments about sending National Guard troops to Chicago.

"First, I want to address the president's unhinged remarks a few minutes ago begging me to call him. No, I will not call the president, asking him to send troops to Chicago. I've made that clear already," Pritzker said at a press conference.

The governor then addressed residents directly, saying he would share as much as his team knew about the administration's potential action.

"Rumors have been swirling about what the White House has planned, and sifting fact from fiction is increasingly difficult because Donald Trump's administration is not working in coordination with the city of Chicago, Cook County or the state of Illinois," Pritzker said. "I want to take a moment at the top of my remarks to note how truly extraordinary it is for the federal government to refuse to coordinate with local law enforcement and government."

Trump slammed a federal appeals court's decision ruling his tariffs were unlawful.

The president claimed the court was liberal and would cost the country billions of dollars.

Trump said he plans to bring the case to the Supreme Court to appeal and ask for an expedited ruling.

President Trump on Tuesday was asked if he's decided whether he is going to send National Guardsmen to Chicago.

"Well, we're going in," Trump said as he took questions from reporters in the Oval Office. But he didn't say when such an operation would take place.

"I didn't say when we're going in," Trump continued. "When you lose -- look, I have an obligation. This isn't a political thing. I have an obligation."

Trump pointed to gun violence over the weekend in Chicago and said Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker should be requesting federal assistance.

"If the governor of Illinois would call up, call me up. I would love to do it. Now, we're going to do it anyway. We have the right to do it because I have an obligation to protect this country," Trump said.

Fox News' Peter Doocy brought up a social media trend from over the weekend following Trump's lack of public appearances.

"How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead? You see that the people didn't see you for a couple days. 1.3 million user engagements as of Saturday morning about your demise," Doocy asked.

Trump said he did not hear about those rumors, but maintained that he is "very active."

"I didn't I knew they were saying, like, 'Is he OK? How is he feeling? What's wrong?' I said I just left and it's also sort of a longer weekend. You know, it's Labor Day weekend. So I would say a lot of people know I was very active this Labor Day," he said.
