Activists, residents and elected leaders say increasingly combative tactics used by federal immigration agents are sparking violence and fueling neighborhood tensions in the nation’s third-largest city. That includes storming an apartment complex by helicopter as families slept and deploying chemical agents near a public school. About 1,000 immigrants have been arrested since an immigration crackdown started last month in the Chicago area. But U.S. citizens, immigrants with legal status and children have been among those taken into custody in increasingly brazen and aggressive encounters which pop up daily across neighborhoods in the city of 2.7 million and its many suburbs.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom says the Trump administration is sending 300 California National Guard members to Oregon. The move comes after a judge blocked the administration from deploying that state’s guard to Portland. Newsom pledged Sunday to fight the move in court. Newsom, a Democrat, said in a statement that California personnel were on their way Sunday and called the deployment “a breathtaking abuse of the law and power.” There was no official announcement from Washington that the California National Guard was being called up and sent to Oregon, just as was the case when Illinois’ governor made a similar announcement Saturday about troops in his state being activated.

The National Park Service under President Donald Trump is looking to reshape what it tells Americans about their history. Park managers are under orders to make their stories more “uplifting." But the history of slavery doesn't lend itself to a happier narrative. At some parks, officials tell The Associated Press that brochures have been pulled for revision and employees have been told to purge references to “enslavers." Even so, a guided tour at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, still presents an unflinching story from the town where John Brown mounted a violent raid to free the enslaved and stirred anti-slavery public opinion on the cusp of the Civil War.
