>> good evening and thanks for joining us on the weekend review.

I'm Brandis Friedman.

Bloomberg has the evening off federal immigration agents are set to hit Chicago streets, putting Chicagoans on edge.

What remains unclear whether the National Guard will be joining the I strike team despite President Donald Trump's promises.

Well, we're going in.

>> I didn't say when we're going Local leaders, including Senator Durbin and Governor JB Pritzker pushed back as the Trump administration readies National Guard troops to deploy to Chicago, moving into Chicago with troops.

>> With invitation without approval by local officials.

a serious constitutional mistake.

We're going to immediately go to court.

>> If National Guard or other military troops are sent to deploy to the city of Chicago.

Immediately go to court.

>> On Capitol Hill, senators grilled health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy junior over changes to vaccine guidance in turmoil at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

or you're a Charlotte and that's what you are.

If we don't.

And this chronic disease, we have sick is country in the world.

>> That's why we have to fire people, the CDC but local infectious disease specialists RFK Junior is the problem.

This person is not making any sense.

>> The people around him making no sense and the good people are all leaving.

It's it's really a tragedy for public health in America.

>> And Northwestern University's president announces he's leaving after a tenure marred by a federal funding.

Freeze criticism over the school's response to the Trump administration and a hazing scandal that rocked college sports.

>> And now to our week in review panel.

Joining us, our journalist and broadcaster Brandon Pope.

Violent Miller from Chicago Sun-Times has been working a whole lot.

Madison surveyed Block Club.

Chicago and from the Chicago Tribune's editorial board, Steve Daniels.

Let's get right into it because everybody's been working a whole lot because this back and forth between the Trump administration and the Pritzker administration.

It's been going on since last week yet the president has yet to actually send then anyone that we can since use as he's been threatening to do violent.

Any word on when this might actually go down?

Yeah.

So what we know so far is with the National Guard, obviously has not been authorized deploy, immigration agents and federal law enforcement has.

>> So the 30 30 agents at Naval Station, Great Lakes in North Chicago, about 40 miles north of the city.

They've been crowd control with flash bang grenades, shield things like that.

And 230 more federal agents are expected to arrive over the weekend.

Likely tomorrow night.

What is the expectation here or there they'll deploy around the city.

Start rounding up immigrants and >> and then what right?

Could that incite the need for the National Guard?

Yeah.

So what we're looking at here is that we're probably going to see immigration raids not just in the city, but the areas around the city.

>> The concrete details have been scarce.

And in terms of what we're looking at here in the e-mails that were leaked to me this National Guard deployment was said to potentially mimic L a where they had federal immigration enforcement come in.

First kind of, you know, shake things up for lack of better words.

We get protests in response and the National Guard is dispatched to protect federal law enforcement so they wouldn't be as in DC carrying out, you know, day to day law enforcement arrests, traffic stops traffic checkpoints.

They would be detailed with ice on these immigration raids.

And, you know, this is coming as we're hearing reports today that, you know, ICE raids in Georgia rounded up hundreds of of immigrants.

Brandon, you know what we know about how the National Guard could be used, what areas might start to see them in.

Yeah, that's that's a big question.

We know that violence is targeted and really concentrated as the south and west side of the city.

>> What we've seen if you follow the DC model is that many of the National Guard troops have been in Georgetown, you street.

They've been in popular tourist areas.

The strategy there is that.

You have the National Guard take on patrol of these popular sites that way police can more focused heavily on the more dangerous areas and kind of advocate those resources.

So many expect the same strategy to be the point here in Chicago when it comes to that.

But what can the National Guard actually do is still of Florida Bay.

They don't have arrest powers.

They don't have police powers.

The kind of just mascot for public safety.

So many think their deterrent to crime, right?

mean, you see them there militarized.

They think that's going to stop credit is no data to back up.

That's what happened to several be seen DC so far.

Crime has gone down over these past 3 weeks.

But a note on you know, a lot of federal grand jury is prosecutors have been dropping cases because of these National Guard members.

They're not trained in law enforcement.

>> So we're seeing lots of, you know, illegal searches were seeing just violations of rights that are leading to these charges being dropped.

So while there are more arrests, it's not, you know, turning out as the Trump administration might help the case of the sandwich guy.

We saw the viral guided through the same which of the guard there.

try to bring a case against them.

They couldn't do it.

And of course, JB Pritzker warning folks against throwing sandwiches at the National Guard.

>> The governor saying that state and local law enforcement will not be assisting immigration agents.

Of course, he does not welcome the National Guard being deployed at the president's request Eve.

Does the trip editorial board you will have a take on how the governor should be responding to this and because we know the president has asked him to right?

Yes, we we did.

I think we want to cooler heads to prevail in this war of words.

>> The governor has been very hot on the subject and, you know, understandably in some respects, obviously but what we have seen with the National Guard situation, unlike the the president sort of, I think, without saying it explicitly has said that they are maybe has acknowledged they don't have the same kind of authority.

Certainly don't have the same kind of authority as they do in D C in La.

There was they got a judicial ruling against them way after the fact.

But still, you now have a judge that has said you cannot just sand National Guard troops to do to do sort of general law enforcement.

If the governor doesn't ask you to do And so what we saw was was the president saying, well, maybe we'll go to New Orleans instead because governor there like this and so I don't know what we're going to see all of this play out.

Once we get all these people on the ground and once we see everything happening, the fact that I guess from matter remains that the city and the feds.

Leave the National Guard out of it could cooperate in and sort bettors set of circumstances to do more about because, well, the governor doesn't want to call and ask for the National Guard.

The governor could call and just talk to the president.

>> And just talking down.

Yeah, he now the governor made a point that I thought was a good one, which was if I call and tell the president that I don't want the National Guard here could be used in court against me as I called and asked for help.

And then that maybe puts us at a disadvantage.

If we go to court.

Yeah, it was.

That was a reasonable I love.

That was an interesting 0 point that he made.

think the key test here is like what are Trump's motives with this?

If it's purely politics like some think?

>> Then he may very well to send the National Guard any way because while California ruled that that jurisdiction doesn't really extend Illinois.

So they had to be a new case.

And if how long it took for that one?

You what?

The scores political points being the catchall for for folks that really want to attack Democratic cities.

He gets his political points there.

So I wouldn't rule that out all the way because he's not really barred from doing with our legal system.

Yeah.

One of point to make I agree with that one other point to make is It's going to depend a lot on what happens in the city like we saw the Labor Day weekend shootings.

When we do have the governor, the mayor say crime is way down and its center and center and then you had a bad weekend.

to have the historical context as well because obviously, I mean, the Labor Day weekend, it was the most violent 3 years after a three-year downswing.

>> And, you know, my colleague Chip Mitchell, it WBZ.

He looked into some of the historical data and found I mean, our summer homicides are the lowest they've been since 1965. so, you know, overall we're seeing this trend.

What we're seeing with these weekend, these holiday weekends is that we're seeing more shootings.

We're seeing a larger percentage of the number of wounded and killed coming from fewer shootings.

A quarter of this labor day's shootings came from just 3 incidents 2 important a quarter 4th of July shootings came from just 2 shootings.

And so we're seeing, you shootings at large crowds taking up the bulk putting up these numbers.

The governor has said that, you know, he's going take immediate court action, of course, happens a lot when the president takes an action.

There's often a court action that follows up Madison.

Is there anything else the governor can do to resist this?

>> I think he's going to continue to be publicly outspoken against He takes a lot of shots at the president.

He does not hold back.

>> I do think logistically challenging it in court is probably the only thing they can do.

But as we've talked about, it's likely not something that would take effect or have any kind of ramifications until way after the fact until so to speak.

The damage is done dozens, hundreds of people could be arrest and families torn apart.

Protesters potentially arrested.

So kind of have to wait and see.

>> I think it's really important to just say up lately, this is not normal.

This this militarized.

Take over.

Cities is not something the Lake American presidents do.

So it's really an president territory.

Yeah, we're all in uncharted territory.

Governor Pritzker has said that his administration has very good sources that have informed him that Governor Greg Abbott of Texas is going to mobilize.

>> Members of the Texas National Guard to send them here, which sounds complicated and a little bit unconstitutional.

Governor Abbott's office has told our reporters no not doing that.

That's not part of the plan at all.

Is Governor Pritzker.

Steve, is he out on a limb here with making a claim like that tool that?

>> Yeah, I think And and that's what I meant by coming in hot.

I mean that there's been a lot.

The temperature needs to be ratcheted down and we understand everybody understands Donald Trump is not about ratcheting down temperatures.

Okay.

So we get everyone understands that.

But if you're the governor and you're trying to turn of Illinois and you're trying to keep people safe, let's remember.

So let's not turn the temperature up so that we have more education and streets encourage from the highest level of office in the state, not explicitly.

But in terms of the tone, I do think that there's a there's reason to be a maybe it's more a matter of tone than it is of substance.

>> I think Democrats locally and nationally need to be careful having talk about this.

Violence is a serious issue.

Unlike any time families are mourning are in pain.

They don't care.

Crime stats are down or numbers are down.

That's right.

You know.

So at the end of the day, you have to, you know, dressed in now and the real pain that's happening but also addressed what's working and have that the train had go down and show to the country.

Hey, maybe these strategies work better than a militarized force.

Keep working.

What Grito Chicago, of course, it's one of many Mexican Independence Day celebrations.

It has been canceled.

>> Madison so far, Mexican Independence Day parades.

Those are still slated.

What are we hearing from members of Latino community so far?

I think organizers and neighbors are doing their best to try to remain positive.

They don't want to.

They don't want to back down in fear.

They want to be able to celebrate their heritage with pride.

>> But realistically, for some folks of this community going to something like that could could pose a risk if there are immigration officials are going to be in these crowds.

Like you mentioned, a for next weekend has been canceled.

But there is in a festival in Polson that is supposed to still take place.

The little Village festival had they have.

They have said they will not be canceling.

I think the message is do what makes you feel safe?

You know, be be cautious.

Be aware.

I think everyone, you know, just speaking of like trying to strike the right tone.

Not wanting to fear monger.

You know, that's kind what it's trying to be done.

Like people, food.

The federal government wants people to be afraid.

They want people.

They want people to act.

Spontaneously in on a motion, which I understand.

But they also, you know, they want to keep people safe.

So I mean, that's kind where things stand.

We also saw some protests outside of an ice facility in Broadview today.

And that's before any deployment, right on the course that there's an ICE facility there.

>> Violet help potentially via volatile.

Do you think the situation could get?

There's some of the protests now that we're looking for sure.

I mean, I you know, so far what we've seen is folks blocking the driveway this has been going on for months.

This is nothing new.

This, you know, Broadview facility has been operating.

Froggy's mayor did say in a press release late last week.

I believe that.

>> The facility will be operating 7 days a week for the next 45 days.

What's important to know about that holding facility is that it's not large.

We don't have the capacity for immigration detention in Illinois per our state laws and so on.

You know, folks are likely going to be processed pretty quick through there.

But I think there are a lot of questions about what the capabilities of that facility are, especially if they're seeing these protests that are, you know, interrupting operations like that, OK?

So let's talk about vaccines.

>> Because this HHS secretary RFK Junior, a very heated hearing.

We had a clip of it earlier in the show with U.S. senators this week over the CDC's change in vaccine a lot of exits from top leadership there.

Brandon, what is the controversy on all of this?

The controversy over all is one Robert F Kennedy junior.

He's come in.

He was already a anti-vax kind of skeptic mean, it series of changes to top level staff.

Just cause resignations and lots of turmoil.

>> With that, some rules changes and some rhetoric that's also got people who are pro vaccine.

Very a very worried when he went, you know, just a few months ago in front of some of the same senators saying that he supported vaccines and supported the support, the the use of vaccines for everybody that hearing or seeing images of right there.

What was striking about it it was Democrats and Republicans both killing this guy like it was needed from both sides, especially that that Senator forgot his name from Louisiana's who was skeptical of his confirmation to the doctor himself.

A doctor himself a skeptical of his confirmation, the first place and still when did it and let him go, he was very sharp and that So that's really crux of it.

And the protests we're seeing around this.

I've never thought seem seem like a CDC actions much shooting at the CDC a matter weeks.

Yeah, So a lot of attention on what's >> So violent.

Do you think the secretary's position, do you think you might be at risk after this performance?

>> I mean, you know, he he very well could be.

I mean, the reality we're facing with a situation like this is dead kids.

And that, you know, I don't think bodes well for anybody.

>> I'm talking about the COVID vaccine.

Those changes no longer being recommended unless you're under a certain age over age of 65.

>> And if you're under that age, then you have to have preexisting conditions.

But not only that, that rhetoric has led to Florida moving to, you know, it all back.

Seen mandates.

And last year the U.S. had the most measles cases and has and 30 years and it saw the first measles deaths it has in a decade and those deaths were largely children.

Children out of Texas that came in the first wave Illinois has seen a lot of cases itself as well.

And so, you know, this can only get worse as you know, as these policies spread.

Madison, did you see any of this hearing will reaction to this?

Well, I do think it was interesting, as we pointed out that he was catching heat from both sides.

I think that surprise me because a lot of RFK Junior has been saying it doesn't seem particularly new.

The folks like Brandon mentioned who let him be confirmed.

You know, they they let it happen.

And now want to double down and really question him.

just makes me ask, what did you think he was going to do?

>> I agree with I think the the question is whether he's in trouble.

I don't think so.

I think I think that that's determined by Donald Trump and Donald Trump.

The law.

And right now at least from everything we can see, Donald Trump doesn't seem to have a problem with and and I also think there was sort of a deal made obviously when RFK Junior supported candidacy, that he would get this position.

It would take more than this, I think to to really put him on the hot seat.

But that was a a spectacle.

in a and if we do see some Republican members of mainly senators get a little more courageous and make a little bit more of a stink about this.

Then maybe things change.

So we'll see.

>> Violet, we also heard a little bit of reaction from some local medical experts as well.

We had some of them here on the show this week.

What have some of those organizations and folks said, I think there's saying the same things they have been saying since the beginning.

You know it.

It's very similar to his early critics in the Senate.

Just they didn't let him get confirmed.

They were, you know, essentially powerless and that scenario.

But they've ringing the alarm since day one.

Again, kind of just what we talked about and that, you know, if we continue to go down this path where, you know, vaccines are less and less available, we're going to see, you know, kids getting hurt.

And this is an issue specifically in Chicago as well.

You know, Pre-pandemic in 2019, we saw 90% of CPS schools that herd immunity for measles.

Vaccines.

That's down to 45% last year.

So more than a 50% drop off here that we're seeing.

And so again, this isn't just a far-out issue.

This is something that's right here at home.

Northwestern University President Michael Schill.

He announced his resignation this week as well after 3 years on the Steve, remind us what his tenure was like for those 3.

You here well.

Yeah.

Real bumpy and obviously didn't sign up for all of the stuff, especially Trump administration and basically attack on higher education.

>> But there was some self self-inflicted wounds, too.

So.

>> The paths year-old situation, the hazing, the lawsuit that was settled very recently for undisclosed sum of money that is presumably very high in the tens of millions of dollars with language that a company that that was praising of the code.

The former coach for his tenure there that Lee was negotiated by.

Well, all the lawyers who are involved, he demanded the university do that.

So university made, you know, that under show made made Fitzgerald look like he knew something about this and they couldn't prove it.

Clearly or you wouldn't seen any of that.

So that was a big part of it.

But I think that, you know, it wasn't based on the language and in the announcements here didn't look like it might have been a sort of a mutual decision.

I we don't know, obviously, but it kind of looked maybe he thought maybe it would be better to have somebody else here.

The language from the board of trustees kind of signal that it was a mutual parting ways are almost like need to do it's also as I talked to some alumni and folks are really connected.

Owner Wise to Northwestern.

>> One of their concerns, which feels little superficial, but was that he's not a guy that ingrained himself in northwestern community.

He's known as a very private person and that university, they kind of having be more community oriented and driven and people in July they got a chance to know He didn't come to a lot of the event.

Some of the things you have to do as a as a president of a major university.

He just wasn't doing so public sentiment wasn't really on his side when it when it came down to been to the end of the day.

>> And there's the you know, of course, also the protests that happened on campus last year.

His handling of that, like you said, the attacks in the Trump administration loss of funding several 100 people being cut.

Think 5% of the northwestern staff just a couple of months ago.

The Tribune editorial board on the protests, but he handled it pretty Let me run as much at the time.

was a it was.

Obviously you go back in time, though, that this was extremely difficult situation for a number of campuses.

And he managed to, you know, get a deal that got the tense torn down.

That also, you know, gave gave the protest or something, but not so much that at least in our view.

Now, obviously there are people who disagree, but at least in our view, it was it was a reasonable way to handle that.

So actually, from ours, when did you handle that pretty well, there no word yet on who's going to replace him.

I think an interim will be named.

He's going to stick around until then.

And then he's going to take a sabbatical.

Meanwhile, a cool available is to Congo.

Housing Authority still without a permanent leader.

Madison bring us up to speed on what's causing a delay over there.

>> alderman Walter Burnett IX was expected to have probably already been nominated to this position.

He has said that he he left City >> my understanding is that the hold up is that there are potential conflicts from votes that he cast as a city, a city alderman.

But also I believe he and his wife on some properties get rented out.

2 people with ch a subsidy is so I think that's just being given a bit of a closer look to see what the potential conflicts are there.

But he told he told some reporters that, you know, if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.

But that, you know, he'd like like to serve.

He said he's a, you know, a big proponent of now.

The Ch a success.

So we'll have to see where that goes.

And meanwhile, late this afternoon, the mayor naming the former Alderman's potential replacement.

Violet.

What we know.

Yeah.

I mean, we saw the pressure.

trip from jumped on air.

So.

>> Not much to tell right now, but we do know read as opposed to Burnett, You know what in the in the press release as well.

He's now been nominated by Mayor Brandon Johnson.

I know there was a brief search.

You know, no details on what that entailed or if other folks were considered.

As I know, he's been considered essentially the frontrunner from the very get-go.

So, you know, I don't think anybody is shocked to hear this.

But quite the Friday night News City Council still has vote on this.

So you to see how they have a look at it.

>> We burn it was pretty popular within the city council.

you know, might be defuse a chip off the old pump thanks, everybody.

>> All right, that we can review my thanks to Brandon, Pope violent Miller, Madison, severe drug and Steve Daniels.
