A showdown is brewing in Chicago over President Trump's immigration crackdown.
Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order today directing Chicago
police not to collaborate with federal agents or take part
in patrols, arrests, or other enforcement operations. The sweeping executive
order directs our Department of Law to pursue any and
every legal mechanism to hold this administration accountable for violating

(00:32):
the rights of chicagoan's. It also urges police not to
wear masks and requires them to clearly identify themselves to
the public. The mayor's order comes amid reports of expanded

President Trump suffered a legal setback in his tariff wars.
A federal appeals court ruled Friday that Trump overstepped his

that authority, but despite this, the tariffs will be allowed
to stay in place as the case proceeds. The Manhattan
Building where new York Times Executive editor Joseph Kahn lives
was vandalized with red paint on Friday. Police responded to

The map, which is backed by President Trump, aims to
flip five congressional districts that have been held by Democrats.

on August twenty ninth back in two thousand and five,

flooded for weeks due to a failed levy system. It
remains the costliest storm on record. And on a personal note,

devastation of Katrina, which took the lives of hundreds across
five states. The first full Saturday of college football is here.
