Trump Deploys Texas Troops, Chicago Says 'Hold My Deep Dish'
In a plot twist that reads like a political mashup of 'Law & Order' and 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre,' President Trump sent 300 Texas National Guard troops to Chicago on Monday night, right after Illinois sued the administration to stop the deployment. Governor JB Pritzker, with the subtlety of a deep-dish pizza oven, declared on X that troops were 'not needed' in Illinois. Meanwhile, a U.S. Customs agentâs car got hit by two rogue vehiclesâbecause if hitting federal agents with your car isnât your hobby, are you even politically interesting? Judge April Perry is thoughtfully waiting until Thursday to weigh in while Trump threatens to break out the 1807 Insurrection Act, a dusty 60-year-old playbook move. Chicagoans protested the military grand entrance near Elwoodâs training center, further proving residents arenât fans of surprise Texas hospitality.
