Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is your twenty four to seven use update. The
latest use this hour in just four minutes.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Chicago is likely to be the focus of the next
showdown over President Trump's immigration crackdown. Several reports a ices
planning expanded operations in the coming days, much like what
we saw recently in Los Angeles. Speaking to the Chicago
City Council earlier this week, police Superintendent Larry Snelling said
they won't be assisting any federal troops. We do not assist,

(00:31):
but at the same time, I want to be clear
we also do not engage in a way where we're
obstructing federal agents.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
We do not interfere with the work that they're doing.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson have
both said the stepped up enforcement is not welcome in
the city, with Pritzker promising some sort of response. A
federal judge is blocking the Trump administration policies aimed at
expanding fast track deportations. On Friday, US District Judge Giac
Cobb and d C ruled in favor of an immigrant

(01:03):
rights group who argued the policy's violate constitutional due process rights.
Cobb noted the group being targeted had entered the country
long ago, unlike migrants who were detained shortly after crossing
the border. A Department of Homeland Security official said Friday's
ruling ignored President Trump's legal authority and undermines the integrity

(01:23):
of the immigration system. The search for answers continues, as
does the morning following this week's deadly shooting at a
Catholic school in Minneapolis. The father of eight year old
Fletcher Merkel is remembering his son after he was killed
inside the Annunciation Catholic Church on Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
While the whole in our hearts and lives will never
be filled, I hope that in time our family can
find healing.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Rye is praising those who jumped into
action when the shooter opened fire. Two children were killed
and nearly twenty others injured when police say Robin Westman
opened fire through the windows of the church on Wednesday,
who was reportedly a former student at the school, then
committed suicide. I'm Lisa Carton. California Governor Gavin Newsom is

(02:08):
accusing federal immigration agents of being more loyal to the
president than to the country, calling the agency Trump's personal Army.
Brian Shook has more.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
That's drawing a sharp response from the White House. Borders
are Gavin Newsom's an embarrassments to position he holds. Tom
Homan said that ice raids are making California safer, citing
the arrests of those with criminal histories, and he's defending
a move to allow ICE agents to cover their faces.
He says opponents don't have data to show its dangerous

(02:38):
or ineffective.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is signing legislation that will redraw
the state's congressional boundaries in order to make them more
GOP friendly.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
It ensures fair representation in the United States Congress for Texans.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
The map, which is backed by President Trump, aims to
flip five congressional districts that have been held by Democrats.
The bill's author says it's needed to address a shift
in voting patterns. He pointed to blue border districts that
voted Republican in the last two presidential elections. A pair
of lawsuits have already been filed to stop redistricting. The

(03:14):
city of New Orleans is honoring those who died in
Hurricane Katrina, which hit the city twenty years ago, Friday
Mayor LaToya Cantrell said the recovery is a testament to
the human spirit.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Twenty years later, New Orleans is still here.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
New Orleans still stands. The Category three hurricane made landfall
on August twenty ninth back in two thousand five, and
it submerged eighty per cent of the city, which remained
flooded for weeks due to a failed levy system. It
remains the costliest storm on record. And on a personal note,
I was on the ground twenty years ago covering the
devastation of Katrina, which took the lives of hundreds across

(03:53):
five states. The first full Saturday of college football is here.
The action kicks off with number one Texas taking on
number two Ohio State in Columbus. Today, I'm Lisa Carton.
