I'm your host, Greg Sargent.

President Trump's militarized raids in Chicago just took another really horrific turn.

ABC News reports that Trump's agents disrupted a children's Halloween parade, resulting in all kinds of mayhem. Tear gas was fired, old people were pushed around, children were terrified. What really

struck us as well as what happened next, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker not only denounced it all

very forcefully, but issued a sharply worded warning and a challenge

directly to top Trump officials. This elevated the issue and forced Christy Knoem,

the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, to give an answer that we think is terrible for

Trump. All this has ramifications for how Democrats should do politics amid our slide into

authoritarianism.

And we're talking about all this with Dave Karp, a professor of media and public affairs,

who has a good new piece for the new republic that touches on this topic.

Dave, good to have you on.

Thanks for having me.

So the Border Patrol unleashed more mayhem in Chicago over the weekend, as ABC reports,

quote, neighborhood residents claimed the agents interrupted a children's Halloween parade

and allegedly deployed tear gas without warning on residents trying to intervene, close quote.

ABC also saw video footage showing agents firing tear gas and tackling and arresting several people,

including U.S. citizens.

Dave, just another day in Trump's America, huh?

Yeah, they keep wanting Democratic cities, blue cities to be war zones, and then taking actions to turn them into war zones.

What strikes me, I live in Washington, D.C.
