Speaker 2 (00:03):
The latest use this hour in just four minutes. 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

(00:27):
won't be assisting any federal troops.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
We do not.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Assist, 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. While the whole
in our hearts and lives will never be filled, I

(01:43):
hope that in time our family can find healing. 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. President Trump is revoking the Secret Service
protection of his political opponent, former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Michael Kassner reports.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Hers supporter by CNN. The move is set to become
effective on September first. Former vice presidents are automatically granted
six months of protection after leaving office, meaning Harris's detail
was set to be eliminated last month, but she had
hers extended by former President Joe Biden. The decision comes
as the former vice president and unsuccessful Democratic presidential nominee

(02:36):
is preparing to kick off a high profile book tour,
coinciding with the September twenty third release of her memoir
One hundred seven Days A'm Michael Cassner.

Speaker 2 (02:45):

a new congressional map in Texas was signed into law Friday.
Jim Forbes has more.

Speaker 3 (02:54):

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is seen in a video on
his ex account signing the bill on true Social President
Trump wrote quote Texas never lets us down. Florida, Indiana
and others are looking to do the same thing. Newsome
is proposing a temporary shift in California's redistricting power.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
And in Texas, a number of new laws go into
effect on Monday. One of them legalizes short barrel rifles,
removing them from the state's list of banned weapons.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
That does not change the requirements under federal law. There
still are a number of hoops you have to jump through.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Kirk Evans, with Texas based US Law shield says there's
still a background check, but a two hundred dollars fee
was canceled under President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Another new
gun law that starts September first is a ban on
gun buy back programs. These have been very popular with Democrats,
but police say they do not cut crime. I'm Lisa Carton.
