President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities such as Portland, Ore., and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration. NPR's Jaclyn Diaz and Juliana Kim report.


Then, NPR's Steve Inskeep speaks with Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul about President Trump's efforts to deploy National Guard forces to Chicago, over state and local objections.
