单集文稿 ...

  • Hundreds of Texas National Guard troops have arrived in Illinois and are getting ready to deploy in Chicago.

  • Residents there have been pushing back against ICE.

  • They blocked DHS Secretary Kristi Noem from using the bathroom.

  • That's why Governor Pritzker says it's cooperation in keeping people sane.

  • Then actually even more bathroom stuff.

  • They don't even let our ICE officers and our Border Patrol officers use restrooms in facilities.

  • But it's not all bathroom related.

  • You're going to use that!

  • On your people.

  • Shame on you.

  • I hope right now your ancestors are looking at you.

  • And this tension,

  • combined with President Trump's early morning call for the governor of Illinois to be jailed,

  • has raised fears about what is coming next.

  • And that is coming up on Today Explained from Fox.

  • Support for the show comes from The Guardian.

  • If you listen to our show,

  • my guess is that you value independent voices and perspectives on the news.

  • You want real reporting on real stories and you don't want to wonder

  • if the news you're getting is being skewed by an unseen hand.
