U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has launched an immigration enforcement operation in Boston, dubbed Patriot 2.0, according to a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump on Saturday posted a "Apocalypse Now"-themed post, telling officials that "Chicago is about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR." Trump signed an executive order Friday to change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War, though the official name change requires the approval of Congress.
Trump plans to attend the U.S. Open men's final tennis match in New York on Sunday, the White House said.

Polish Secretary of State Marcin Przydacz wrote a list of priorities for the meeting.
Those priorities included the "first point" of describing security in the region to Trump, "so that President Trump also has full awareness of our perspective on the situation regarding Russia's aggressive policy, Belarus's actions, including in the context of hybrid attacks or the deployment of Russian troops in the region," Przydacz wrote in an Op-Ed in a Polish newspaper.
NATO aircraft scrambled in Poland early on Wednesday, as Russia bombarded neighboring Ukraine with drones and missiles.
A federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled that the Trump administration cannot use a centuries-old wartime authority to speed up the removals of noncitizens alleged to be members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

The Louisiana-based appeals court -- one of the most conservative in the country -- rejected the Trump administration’s argument that members of Tren De Aragua comprised a hybrid criminal state intent on invading the U.S.
“A Country's encouraging its residents and citizens to enter this country illegally is not the modern-day equivalent of sending an armed, organized force to occupy, to disrupt, or to otherwise harm the United States. There is no finding that this mass immigration was an armed, organized force or forces,” Judge Leslie H. Southwick wrote.
In a dissenting opinion, Judge Andrew Oldham rebuked his colleagues for second-guessing Trump’s determination about the alleged invasion.
“That contravenes over 200 years of legal precedent. And it transmogrifies the least-dangerous branch into robed crusaders who get to playact as multitudinous Commanders in Chief,” he wrote.
