| 0:00.0 | It's Sunday, October 5th, while government grinds to a halt in Washington, cities across the country are feeling the unwelcome embrace of federal forces on their streets. |
| 0:16.1 | 300 more National Guard troops were activated by the president in the Chicago area against the wishes |
| 0:21.4 | of Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker. This comes after a U.S. Border Patrol shot a woman on the |
| 0:26.7 | south side of Chicago on Saturday after officers launched a deportation operation in that area. |
| 0:32.0 | DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin says that the woman was armed and that law enforcement |

| 0:38.2 | defensive shots after being boxed in by 10 cars, including one driven by the woman who would be |
| 0:44.1 | shot. The account has not been verified and some questions remain. The DHS statement says the officers |

| 1:28.8 | evening, U.S. District Court Judge for Oregon, appointed by Donald Trump in 2018, halted Trump's |
| 1:35.1 | call-up of the National Guard to Portland with a temporary restraining order. The judge wrote that |
| 1:39.9 | the president is entitled to, quote, a great level of deference when it comes to sending in the |
| 1:45.0 | National Guard, but that, quote, a great level of deference is not equivalent to ignoring the facts on |
| 1:49.7 | the ground, end quote. According to the judge, while Trump publicly called Portland war ravaged, |
