00:00And Texas National Guard troops were positioned in Chicago in what constitutes another move on the Trump administration's controversial crackdown on immigration.
00:09Let's see more details from our correspondent, Jorge Stoso.
00:17This morning, President Trump, in a post in his Truth Social Network, said that he believes that the governor of Illinois and the mayor of the city of Chicago should be in jail for not guarantee the security of the members of ICE, that is the Immigration and Customs Service, La Migra in Spanish.
00:42He failed to do that, the authorities local, and therefore, definitely, they should be taken care of.
00:53The government should be taken care.
00:55He has said, if they don't do it, we will do it.
00:58The authorities of Chicago and of Illinois, even the attorney general, said that this is a declared war that has been initiated with a deployment of more than 300 million.
01:12members of the National Guard that has been sent from the state of Texas to the neighborhood, to the surroundings of Chicago, for the moment, they are doing training and other activities and could be already deployed throughout the day today.
01:30And even interesting, a turn that took place in another city that is leaving situations similar to the one in Chicago, that is the city of Portland in Oregon, because one of a congresswoman, she suggested that people should not go and demonstrate in front of the premises of ICE,
01:54because that gives the ICE, because that gives the ICE and gives the government and gives the attorney general all the ammunition to continue to create this sort of chaos that they say that they have to react to.
02:10That believes is that if we could stop, she said, that part of the presence of people in their areas, the whole thing should be absolutely diminished.
02:22And the same thing happened with the mayor of the city that is about 30 minutes away from Chicago, where the situation is also taking place because the premises of ICE that most of the time the immigration fight against demonstration is about not in the city of Chicago,
02:45you know, you know, you know, in a city a little far away. So the mayor of that small city said that she's putting sort of a curfew, limiting the times of the day that demonstration could take place in order to avoid that, especially in the nights,
03:03in the nights, the clashes between ICE members and demonstrators could take place. We get back to Una.
