Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52 , were convicted at Preston Crown Court after investigators uncovered their plan to smuggle automatic weapons and ammunition into the UK. Authorities revealed that the men intended to launch a gun rampage targeting mass gatherings of Jewish people.

Chicago Draws the Line: Mayor Orders Police to Shun Trump’s Federal Deployment

 

                     Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson speaks during a news conference at River Point Park on Monday.  


Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed an executive order barring city police from cooperating with any National Guard troops or federal agents should President Donald Trump follow through on his threat to deploy them to the city.

The order, announced at a City Hall press conference alongside other local leaders, makes clear that Chicago police will continue enforcing state and local laws but will not participate in joint patrols, arrests, immigration enforcement, or other federal-led operations. Officers are also directed to wear official uniforms, follow body camera protocols, and avoid masks to ensure they are distinguishable from federal personnel.

Johnson framed the move as a defense of civil liberties and local sovereignty, warning that unauthorized federal military action could “undermine democratic norms” and “risk escalating violence rather than securing the peace”. He cited recent declines in violent crime as evidence that the city is addressing public safety without federal intervention.

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker echoed the mayor’s stance, calling any unrequested deployment “unconstitutional” and vowing a strong state response. The White House dismissed the order as a partisan stunt, arguing that federal action is aimed at reducing crime.

Johnson said Chicago is prepared to pursue legal and legislative measures to block any such deployment, underscoring his message: “We will protect our Constitution, we will protect our city, and we will protect our people”.
