Show Notes
October 5, 2025; 7am: Last night, President Trump authorized the deployment of 300 National Guard members in Chicago against the governor's wishes. This move comes amid clashes between immigration officials and protestors over the ICE raids around the city. Meanwhile, a federal judge in Oregon temporarily blocked his call up of 200 National Guard troops to Portland. The Trump administration has already appealed the decision. Sam Stein and Ankush Khardori join “The Weekend” to discuss.
