What is the latest update on federal agents and National Guard deployment in Chicago?
Live from NPR News, I'm Janine Herbst. Illinois leaders say they're still unclear on when President Trump will deploy federal agents and National Guard troops to Chicago. Mao Ikbao from Member Station W V E Z has more.

Prisker says he believes immigration and customs enforcement, or ICE agents will likely hit the streets of Chicago by this weekend. Meanwhile, organizers of a popular two-day celebration of Mexican Independence Day are postponing the festival to November.
How might the new Federal Reserve board nominee influence interest‑rate policy?
For NPR News, I'm Mawa Ickball in Springfield, Illinois.
President Trump's nominee to fill an open seat on the Federal Reserve's governing board tell senators if confirmed he will not be Trump's puppet.
Steven Myron insists he will not simply follow orders from President Trump in setting interest rates. But Senate Democrats like Elizabeth Warren are skeptical. Warren accused the president of waging a month-long campaign to seize control of the central bank, and she warned that kind of political meddling has backfired in the past.
It happened in the nineteen seventies when President Nixon bullied the Fed into keeping rates too low for too long and led to years of stagflation where both unemployment and inflation stayed high.
With widespread support from Senate Republicans, however, Myron appears headed for confirmation, possibly in time to attend the next Fed meeting in less than two weeks. Scott Horsley, NPR News, Washington.
The Trump administration is ending a program offering temporary protected status to Venezuelan nationals in the US who face humanitarian crises in their home country.
Why is the Trump administration ending Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans?
And Pierce Tovia Smith has more.
Temporary protected status or TPS for Venezuelans started in the Biden administration, allowing eligible individuals to work in the US and shielding them from deportation. But the Trump administration says conditions in Venezuela no longer warrant the program, and they say it's become a magnet for irregular migration. Some two hundred and fifty six thousand Venezuelans could now be deported and several thousand applications in process shut down. Immigrant advocates say the move will tear families apart and put Venezuelans in danger. The Trump administration has also been trying to terminate TPS for people from several other nations. Tovia Smith, NPR News.
New applications for jobless benefits rose last week. The Labor Department says initial claims were up eight thousand to a seasonally adjusted two hundred thirty seven thousand.
Can LSD really reduce anxiety and depression according to recent clinical research?
A more complete look at the job market comes tomorrow when the government releases the monthly unemployment report for August. You're listening to NPR News. New research suggests that the psychedelic drug LSD can relieve a common form of anxiety. And Pierce John Hamilton has more on a study in the journal of the American Medical Association.
The study involved one hundred and ninety eight people with generalized anxiety disorder, which affects about ten percent of adults in a given year. Dr. David Fiffel of Kadema Neuropsychiatry Institute in San Diego says LSD clearly helped participants who got one of the two higher doses.
By the next day, the drug for all intents and purposes was out of their system, and yet the patient's average anxiety was greatly reduced.
And this improvement lasted for the duration of the twelve week study.
What legacy did fashion icon Giorgio Armani leave behind after his death?
People who got higher doses also had less depression. The form of LSD used in the study is called M M one hundred twenty. It comes from the company MindMed, which has already started two larger studies that should be completed next year. John Hamilton NPR News
