Trump shelves Chicago crackdown plans for now as advisers warn of legal headaches. (This one is for the hater last week.)
“Polls have shown that while voters broadly want to see reduced crime, many don’t necessarily think sending troops into cities would make them safer. Those optics could get worse if federal officials deploy troops into a city with Democrats who are fighting those efforts. And federalized troops cannot perform law enforcement activities, as it would be a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.”

Middle-class families on the ACA brace for higher health care premiums next year.
“Leighanne Safford and her husband, Lorry, pay just $278 a month for health insurance. But starting Jan. 1, their monthly premium could jump to as much as $1,800. Safford’s family is among the millions who could be forced to pay hundreds of dollars more for their health insurance premiums next year as enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies expire at the end of December.”

Trump wanted to send troops, including the National Guard to Chicago, coming from other states like Texas. That is different than ICE. He TACOed on his wish to "reduce crime" in Chicago through troop deployment.
