What did President Trump say about Chicago and how did Governor Pritzker respond?

Janine Herbst 0:00

Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. President Trump on social media today threatened Chicago with apocalyptic force, saying he loves the smell of deportations in the morning. Illinois Democratic Governor JB Pritzker responded calling Trump a wannabe dictator. This as Chicago braces for Trump to escalate immigration enforcement in the city and to deploy the National Guard. But that didn't stop people from coming out to celebrate the start of National Hispanic Heritage Month in a largely immigrant neighborhood today. Adriana Cardona McGeigan from Member Station WBE Z has more.

At first the parade route seemed kind of empty on the sidewalks, but after it started and the main floats began to roll out, the horses, the music and people marching in the parade cheering, it attracted more people. There was noticeable police presence, elected officials, and mostly citizens with immigrant roots who came out in support and to criticize the president's threats.

South Korea's foreign minister says he's deeply concerned about the nearly five hundred workers, mostly South Korean, at a Hyundai plant in Georgia who were arrested by immigration officials yesterday. Cho Huan says they've set up a response team and that he's prepared to travel to Washington if necessary. It's the latest in the long line of workplace raids conducted as part of the Trump administration's mass deportation agenda. Gaza authorities released new casualty figures on the seven hundredth day of war between Israel and Hamas, saying more than sixty four thousand people are dead, almost ten thousand are still missing.

Gaza authorities say the number of dead include twenty thousand children. On Friday, in one of the latest attacks, Gaza's civil defense spokesman says a family of five was killed when a minibus was hit in an Israeli strike. A video taken by the emergency crew shows first responders arriving on the scene near a traffic junction in northern Gaza City. There are little kids, oh God, a rescue worker says, running toward a blackened minibus with bodies still in flames.

What are the latest updates on the Gaza conflict and civilian casualties?
