  • National guard troops ‘protecting’ ICE and other federal property in Chicago area – US politics live

    Move comes as Donald Trump calls for imprisonment of Brandon Johnson, Chicago’s mayor, and JB Pritzker, the Illinois governorHello and welcome to the US politics live blog. I’m Tom Ambrose and I’ll be bringing you all the latest news lines over the next few hours.We start with the news that a small number of National Guard troops has started protecting federal property in the Chicago area and assisting law enforcement in Memphis on Wednesday, according to officials. An “element” of 200 Texas Guard troops were working in the Chicago area, according to a spokesperson for the US Northern Command, who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity in order to discuss operational details that have not been made public.Donald Trump announced that Hamas and Israel have agreed to a tentative deal to end the fighting in Gaza, and free Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners.News of the Gaza agreement was praised by Republican lawmakers, who called on Trump to be awarded the Nobel Peace prize this week, but greeted with more trepidation by Palestinian Americans.During White House event, Trump appeared not to recognize the term ‘Habeas Corpus’ and deferred to Kristi Noem, his homeland security secretary. In May, Noem gave a wildly inaccurate definition of the core legal principle that requires that the government provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people.All of the witnesses who contributed testimony at the White House “antifa roundtable” hosted by the president on Wednesday were self-described independent journalists who might better be called partisan conservative social media influencers. The influencers cover leftwing protests in a highly political manner, more akin to opposition research than nonpartisan reporting.Senate Republicans voted down a war powers resolution that would have checked Trump’s ability to use deadly military force against suspected drug smugglers after Democrats tried to counter the administration’s extraordinary use of the military to destroy boats in the Caribbean.During the White House “antifa roundtable” on Wednesday, at least one wirness echoed Trump’s false claim that large numbers of people have been killed by left-wing radicals in Portland, Oregon. The correct number of killings by self-described “antifa” radicals in Portland is: one. Continue reading...

  • ‘The stakes are quite large’: US supreme court case could gut Voting Rights Act

    Court’s decision in Louisiana v Callais could limit voters from challenging racial discriminatory districts The US supreme court is set to hear a case this month that could gut what remains of the Voting Rights Act, effectively killing one of the crown jewels of the civil rights movement and the nation’s most powerful statute to prevent discrimination in voting.The court’s decision in the case, Louisiana v Callais, could be one of the most consequential rulings for the Voting Rights Act since it was enacted in 1965 and is almost certainly the biggest test for the law since its decision in Shelby county v Holder in 2013, when the justices hollowed out a provision of the law, section five, that required certain places to get voting changes approved by the federal government before they go into effect.

  • El-Sayed calls Oct. 7 fundraising email a mistake

    Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed called a fundraising email that went out on the anniversary of Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel a mistake in a statement provided first to POLITICO. “That email mistakenly went out yesterday. Abdul has been clear and consistent: he holds equally valuable the lives of all innocent people and condemns violence against them," said spokesperson Roxie Richner. The fundraising email from El-Sayed's campaign started by marking that "Two years ago this month, Netanyahu’s military launched a ground invasion of Gaza. Since then, the world has watched tragedy unfold in real time." It drew condemnation from many on the right and some Democrats, who criticized it for omitting any mention of Hamas' attack on Israel at the outset of the war. El-Sayed put out a separate statement on the two-year anniversary of the conflict Tuesday condemning Hamas' "heinous attack on Oct. 7" and also condemning Israel's "horrific genocide on Gaza." The Israel-Hamas war could become a major flashpoint in the Michigan Senate race, with Democrats believing the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee could intervene in the contest. The group's political arm has previously backed Rep. Haley Stevens, who's also vying for the Senate nomination, during her time in Congress. State Sen. Mallory McMorrow, the third major candidate in the race, recently staked out a new stance on the conflict and said she believed Israel's war in Gaza was a genocide. El-Sayed had been a backer of Michigan's "uncommitted" movement during the 2024 election, though he'd said he would still support Democrats over Donald Trump. He ultimately endorsed Kamala Harris' presidential bid.
