Dan Petrella, a political reporter for the Chicago Tribune, and Isaac Stanley-Becker, a staff writer at The Atlantic, dive deep into the deployment of the National Guard in Chicago and Portland. They unravel rising tensions in Chicago due to confrontations with federal agents and Trump's contentious tweets targeting local leaders. Meanwhile, in Portland, they fact-check claims of the city being a 'war zone' amidst protest activity and discuss the implications of Antifa's presence. Legal challenges grip both cities, leaving the federal government's motives under scrutiny.
