Joining us are Michael Lippe Trott of Block Club.

Chicago violent Miller of the Chicago Sun-Times and Alice, the end of the Chicago Tribune.

Thank you all for being here.

Let's get right to it.

lot to cover this week.

I feel like I say that every Michael, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops in the Chicago area just for 14 days, though, what happens next?

It's really a question of right now of what is going to happen with these troops that have been sent into Illinois.

>> And a Judge Perry instituting saying that essentially that federal government has not met the threshold to have the military get involved with domestic policing this way.

There's not an insurrection or any condition that would truly merit the deployment of the National Guard, especially with the fact that Governor Pritzker, the not call for them and to be honest operation that way.

Bliss is looking like a midway blunder in every way.

When we look at how there are no major murderers rapists, the people that the Trump administration are framing that this operation is seeking to arrest.

And more last you see on social media.

They're going into apartment complexes on the river looking for.

Whatever they're looking for.

So it's definitely a question to be bag of what is the effectiveness?

And Judge Perry weighed in and this way saying that there is nothing at this point Judge Perry, you know, as you say, really not mincing words there.

You know, Alice, are you surprised to hear her say?

>> So plainly that she doesn't think the justification is from the federal government's are warranted.

Here.

You know, based on what we've seen on the ground, the last several weeks during Operation Midway Blitz and all these clashes protestors.

>> And as the hearing developed, it seemed that the federal government was really struggling to, you know, stay consistent with their arguments and prove the National Guard is needed, especially as that same date on charges against protesters were getting dismissed and federal court.

But, you know, to your question of what happens next, I haven't been able to answer that a single week in 2025.

So You know, the courts are definitely pushing back against Trump, they're continuing to, you know, go outside.

Yeah, I think very few of U.S.

reporters have this sense of what exactly is going here.

And, you know, I want to talk more about some of the specific cases later.

But, you know, violent.

>> Protesters back outside the broad view facility earlier today.

There was also a huge protest downtown this week as well.

Tell us a little about that.

Yeah.

So I down in Broadview for the protest You know, a few veterans, a capped out about 40 people broadview recently instituted a curfew down there.

So it's 06:00PM or shortly thereafter broadview police with the assistance of ISP.

>> Help move protesters and press out of these designated free speech zones that they've sent off with concrete barriers to keep protesters away from a fence that Department of Homeland Security directed there.

you federal judge said this this is illegal.

They need to remove the fence.

And as of just a few minutes ago, the fence still has not been removed despite a 02:00PM Friday deadline and the protesters are still out there.

And it's a pretty calm scene from what my colleagues are saying.

Isp officers dancing to sweet Caroline that protesters are planning their speaker.

So definitely, you know, you know, seeing what the judge was saying about, you know, maybe they're not being justification for this it really doesn't surprise me.

Well, it will be interesting as well.

I mean, get to your point about ice.

You know.

>> As has at last check, not having taken down that fencing, you know, Broadview village officials saying it's a safety hazard.

It wasn't permitted.

Do you think maybe we're going to see the feds assert some sort eminent domain adjacent argument I don't think so.

You know, I I think this is just going to keep playing out in the courts.

You know, we've seen this with a lot of aspects of this that the National Guard deployment included, where, you know, we get maybe a temporary restraining order and that's appealed.

And in me just keep going back and forth.

And so, you know it in my opinion, we see this play out in the courts the way we've seen a lot of these things play out in the courts.

Allison, Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker taking some fire from President Trump this week familiar feeling for them, but saying that they ought to be in jail.

You know, given the fact that the Trump has exerted some really unusual control over the DOJ, forcing an indictment of former FBI director, for example.

Do you think the mayor and the governor are taking the president seriously here when he makes comments like that?

I think the recurring theme throughout this year has been, you know, take every threat seriously.

But but be a bit dubious about how he often does make threats.

It doesn't follow through on.

And, you know, in very safely Blue Chicago in Illinois.

I'm not just a politician hearing that isn't always the worst case for year-round.

Usually the politicians that are going to jail here, it's because of corruption, rather because they're targeted by the president.

Okay.

Lots of of immigration cases this week.

Michael, separate federal judge says agents should not be using deterrents like tear gas and pepper against, you know, protesters, journalists.

Do you think ICE and DHS are going to follow that directive?

Do you think this might end up back in court again is really hard.

hard to say at this point.

Just as Alice said.

>> With any threats or threatening presidency.

You have to take it.

I'm just at face value and since block club, Chicago has been at Broadview covering alongside many other journalist organizations.

You've seen federal agents shoes nonlethal rounds against journalists and how that has impacted people.

And on Monday, Chicago, alongside the headline Club and other outlets filed a lawsuit against the Department, Homeland Security and that way.

And so restraining order being grants is definitely a win for free speech.

And when we think about just the First Amendment and how a lot of the federal government's actions have been directly in opposition to the First Amendment in terms of journalists, the right to press the right assembly, the right to protest.

I like about said a lot of this is going to go to the courts.

And I think that a lot of this is just going to push.

Trump is pushing the limits of authority and within our democracy to checks and balances were having a bounce on this way.

So between the restraining order on the National Guard deployment being blocked the restraining order against journalists.

We're just going to see more and more of these cases come down as com, Errol said, check the unfettered authority of Trump Camaro will may be the busiest man in the state right now.

>> Another ruling that that came out was said that, you know, unless agents are undercover, they have to have badges.

They have to have some sort of identification forgive me for the fairly obvious question.

But what are the potential problems there if agents aren't identifying themselves where we've seen in other states where people are posing is agents and they're going in.

They're essentially kidnapping people.

But at this point society, if you see a group of people with the the headmaster hit wraps on and camel pull up in a van and just grab a Hispanic person.

You just assume they're And now you're having threats and other cases being reported states of Jess people just doing this and people being kidnapped, people being assaulted.

And that's a real threat.

When there's no identification, we have vehicles that don't have license plates are out of state license plates with nothing that identifies as a federal agent and then the federal government the federal government's response essentially saying that this is going to put a target on them.

Is it exaggeration in terms of simple identification?

Because there's so many different groups and so many characteristics that you extrapolate to say is a target, but simply to identify yourself as officer of the law should be the bare minimum.

And there really is no accountability with the way things are right now.

I mean, between, you know, like you said, agents not.

>> Wearing any identifying badges, badge, numbers, names, anything like that.

lot of the time.

We don't even know what department there with and from the videos of arrest that we've seen circulating.

I mean, you know, obviously there there are some use of force cases here that I think that with any normal law enforcement agency, we would see, you know, investigated to some degree.

But in these situations, the federal agencies are investigating themselves specifically like in the shooting so Villegas Gonzales in Franklin Park.

And so, you know, that's just going to continue spiraling if we don't see agents identify themselves.

And as of yesterday, a broad view, they still were not, you know, badges, new nameplates, nothing.

I would also say that the use of the word oxi non has been applied a bit, too probably.

>> You know, as a city hall reporter, sometimes I get pushback from governments after saying why are you name a blah, blah, blah, but you're not a private citizen.

If you are being paid by the taxpayer pairs, especially if you work for, you arm of the law enforcement.

you know, it is fair game for reporters and the public too film a know your identity.

Yes, but in a public place and, you Doxing is sort of an issue of putting someone's public information out there to embarrass them, to threaten them, to put them in danger rather than document what a public employees doing right is definitely that's a testament to what is the same, to throw the rock and hide your hand and that way to be this aggressive on the ground.

>> And then want nothing as far as identifying factors with And so for a loved one who would have see someone in their family get picked up in on Marc Marc van and ran no lands right front of an unmarked van with no license plates by people with no identify ERs.

You don't know if this is ice.

If this is Border Patrol, if this any other federal agent, you will know where to begin to start to even track case, right?

Yeah.

I called Cook County Jail.

Do I go for Chicago police district in of someone getting picked up by local law enforcement to very different matter.

There have been several families showing up to broadview unsure if their loved one is even there at the facility.

And so, you know, there is a >> kind of chain they have to go through through Cook County and ISP and then eventually get through the facility in some cases to trying to get medications to folks.

There was one man who had had heart surgery just 2 weeks before.

And so, you that's been a problem, too, is just these families don't know where their loved ones are.

And with the backlog, they have.

Oftentimes folks are being processed for 72 hours or more.

And so, you know, it's it's days without answers as to where your loved ones are or if they were possibly just cannot by people, you know, dressing up like federal agents.

And it's definitely a testament to throughout operation that way.

Plus a lot of these operations in Chicago.

How Perverted Justice system this becoming in this way, where when we think about checks and balances terms of being a presumed innocent until proven guilty and the oversight when it comes to policing that it took years as so many lives lost for police to wear body cameras to be able to have a bash number, identify factors.

And now operation just not holding any of that and all the standards that so many police departments are have instituted number number being applied and it's it's truly going to be looked at.

And I imagine a lot of justice callers are looking at this in terms of how do you even begin to apply oversight if there was an abuse of power, if there was a new cause for some of these so these arrests and detainment, how would justice system even begin to review those red, especially for if there are certain systems where it's regulatory versus legal, I these norms or are these laws?

I think there's going to be a lot of questions coming out of that.

Speaking of trying to put a check on folks.

Dallas Mayor Johnson says that federal agents who violate city laws should be criminally charged to.

Did he give more details on that?

What sorts of laws he envisions they may be breaking.

Yeah.

He signed a new executive order on Monday banning ice from public property and private property at the land.

Lord.

>> So is up and he was a little more vague.

We're talking about how it would be in force.

He did talk about the law department, but it remains to be seen how the law department could use a city executive order to, you know, prosecute the federal government.

largely, you know, even if it is just symbolic, I think it is showing that the city of Chicago is taking a stand and trying to tap into the very widespread at this point, public resistance against these ice actions.

Yeah.

Even if it's more of a symbolic action, it's certainly something a lot of Chicagoans want to see their leader doing one specific case filed that you've been following a woman shot by agents in Brighton Park over the weekend who's now facing felony assault charges.

What she accused of.

So she's accused of I not only interfering, but, you know, it's something an officer.

They are accusing her of having been part of the civilian caravan that was following ice vehicles.

>> They say at some point there is a crash but much like with the shooting, the fatal shooting in Franklin Park committed by ICE agents.

You know, there are questions about what happened specifically because videos and other evidence are really lining up with what DHS is saying.

And this has happened time and time again where these details are really unclear.

And so, you know, as certain things start to emerge in court, we're getting little bits and pieces more.

But to truly it's been very murky about what happened.

What was less murky was the response to it.

That was very clear, especially the residents of Brighton Park.

You know, protesters started gathering pretty quick lead right out of the neighborhood also coming from other places federal agents tear gas.

The area 3 times in just 4 hours, including as they were driving way down a one-way street.

The wrong way 39th place.

They threw tear gas canisters and flash-bang grenades into the front yards of people's homes where there were no protesters.

So, you know, obviously that's just kind of, you know, disturbing to see him.

>> Well, among been tear gassed in recent days, some Chicago police officers, we heard from Superintendent Larry Snelling pushing back on claims from DHS that CPD didn't answer calls from federal agents and a pair of incidents.

You know, Alice, DHS is claiming that Governor Pritzker block CPD from acting, but of course, he doesn't have the authority to do Yeah, no on this was on the city controlled Chicago Police Department and they did respond to that scene multiple times over the course of that What they were the confusion lay was that there was an internal computer message after cpre respond to that crowd saying no units would respond, which is a common You know, as a former crime reporter, when you get a 10 one call of officer distress, all the units nearby converge.

But you don't.

>> But after you realize that the scene has been contained or that there is assignment for Chicago police there.

You stop telling me you don't become.

Yeah.

So this is a fairly standard procedural move being misinterpreted by folks who don't necessarily understand what they're looking at.

Well, it's not just immigration.

That's driving the news locally, although we certainly could do show on it.

Federal government you may remember is still shut down.

And there were some major delays at Midway and O'Hare because of staffing shortages.

Michael, do you think the average air travelers following the news closely enough to expect these kind of delays are?

They're probably some folks a little hot under the collar getting caught off guard.

Sadly, I do not think that average traveler is stinking that big picture of how the government shutdown is going to impact lines at TSA and agents.

>> I saw a video on social media at o Hare of the American Airlines des.

meet videos claiming that over 50 people were at the customer service desk waiting for an intended to come.

And I customer flyer had to actually go over overhead speaker to ask for someone to come.

And it's it's definitely a mess right now.

And I think that when we get towards closer to the holidays and just seeing how this is going to play out, because even if the government reopen some of these TSA agents that walked out or potentially quit not coming back, there's going to be a rush for seasonal hiring and it's just going to have a very much down the road effect in terms of fly.

Yeah, Thanksgiving, the holiday season potentially not very pleasant.

You know, one another followed of the shutdown.

Trump administration has started sending out layoff notices to some federal workers as they threaten doing.

>> You know, there are good reporting from the sometimes, you know, folks saying they're just kind of emotionally exhausted because, of course, it's not just the shutdown by that.

We also started the year with Elon Musk, you know, coming in and laying off massive amounts of government workers.

You have to imagine it's been potentially demoralizing year for folks.

Yeah, protest downtown.

I've spoken to quite a number federal workers who are out there voicing their opinions and they're pretty displeased time.

>> You know, this government shutdown, the subsequently officer just kind of, you know, an early taste of what seems to be the Trump administration's plan for the federal government, you know, stripping everything back in and really just working with the skeleton crews that are you seem to be struggling to get the job done from what these federal workers are telling me?

You know, they were understaffed to begin with.

They understaffed and we started the year and now that they're losing more and more, you know, those who are staying in the positions are obviously stressed, you know, doing more work in those who are being pushed out are obviously struggling with the loss of employment.

Yeah, of course there have been threats as well.

You know that the federal government >> may not honor a law guaranteeing them back pay.

So you have to imagine that's another layer of stress as well to create a negative feedback system that way.

We think about at least under this Trump administration, most going to want to work for the federal government and that way when you see the shutdown and how this is affecting people and and now potentially not honoring back pay, how that is just going to create a system where 4 these next years for positions that are laid for the hires, need it.

People can be very reluctant where if you're qualified to work in a private entity versus the federal government job security, and that's going to be a big concern for a lot of people.

Yeah, you can imagine.

All right.

We'll talking going from government shut down to a government to return, perhaps former Congressman Jesse Jackson junior wants to head back to the House of Representatives.

Michael, he's kind of had a message of sort of reform and transformation.

Do you think that might break through with voters?

Are folks too to send a call about things like that?

This is this is tough, especially sense that my cynicism very much because you I think that is definitely going to be a a push as far as him getting in touch with his base, the base that stuck with him both through his terms as well as through his imprisonment to come back.

They really make that case for him being truly transform the reform that And I say.

I sadly corruption is so much synonymous with Chicago and the state of Illinois that this doesn't seem too out of the picture and people speculated about this for months.

So it's more on par for the course at this point.

And he served his time we do love a second chance.

So it's pretty scarce here.

All right.

Well, violent, the CTA says a federal funding freeze is not going to stop them from moving forward with E long-awaited REDLINE extension.

If that money doesn't come through, do you think this will be the latest in a long line of of lawsuits over these sorts of funding pauses?

Yeah, I feel like a broken record.

This is going to play out in the You know, that's just kind of what we keep coming back to.

I mean, >> the Trump administration has threatened time and time again in pretty much every aspect of local and state government to pull funding from different areas, whether it be Medicaid, education.

And so you know in this case, transportation in.

So again, we're going to see this play out in the courts, especially money that was already allocated.

We've seen in a lot of prior cases that the courts tend to side with on the local governments who are owed this money that has already been set aside for a contract is a contract.

Even if Uncle Sam is the other party signing it.

And it's Monday that the season due to release their budget.

Yes, Monday's the budget.

And then they've got a week from Tuesday to respond to this notification from the Department of Transportation on.

>> You know, whether there is illegal race-based contracting going on.

But of course, we're talking about this last week the CTA was required to take disadvantaged businesses into account to land the steel.

So be very interesting to see how to say the least.

I would say so.

just season.

Yes, another big case.

Folks have been watching.

The U.S.

Supreme Court appeared open to a lawsuit from Mike Bost, a challenging mail-in voting.

So this really was just about whether he has standing out the merits of the case.

But now, Alice, if your local election authority and you're watching this case that has the potential to blow up absentee balloting, have to imagine you're feeling a little on edge about that.

It's become such a huge part of how people cast their ballot.

Yeah, no, especially in Illinois over the last election cycles.

>> Although I will say there's less and less evidence tied on mail-in ballots really disadvantage Republican candidates at this point.

But but it sounds like boss argument was I'd just after Election election officials.

Shouldn't able to weigh in?

But it has been the norm for a while.

Yeah, certainly there's been a big push from folks in the GOP to to get their their voters out early so that it's no longer.

>> Such a big democratic wave of votes coming in.

Well, a little bit of sad news.

We have to mark the passing of the late great sister Jean from Loyola University 106 years old.

I think to call her a fixture at HELA campuses.

Is a fair fair to say yes.

As our as our resident Rambler?

Yeah.

Yeah.

As a former Loyola student, I mean, she was always there and the Dayton Student Center in her office that was.

>> I mean, incredibly accessible and would talk to anybody.

You know, I know that I was seated next to her at a basketball event for the Missouri Valley Conference tournament a number of years ago.

And she had asked me for my phones, you can check the scores on ESPN for, you know, teams that Loyola might face ahead.

She was already betting on them winning.

So, you know, it's safe to say she she really loved she did and doing it for that long was just really incredible.

So she will be missed.

And when Loyola made that pretty incredible Cinderella run in the NCAA a few years back, she was such a huge part of that.

I mean, she was as much a part of the story line is those players Yeah, absolutely.

And I think that's what part of you know, they're part of what made the team when it was, you know, we really had this kind of underdog feel to it at the time.

And it doesn't feel like that anymore.

Having moved up conferences, you know, obviously it's going to be a tough season founder.

Yeah, absolutely.

Well, sister Jeanne, rest in peace.

One of the good ones and you 3 are all good ones, too.

But we are out of time.

So our thanks to Michael.

If Trump violent Miller.

And Alice Yen.
