Most of the shootings were unrelated, highlighting the city\u2019s continued struggle with gun violence during summer and holiday periods. Few arrests have been made as investigations continue.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"457\" data-end=\"863\">Following the violence, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order blocking Chicago police from cooperating with federal authorities. The move rejects former President Donald Trump\u2019s renewed push to deploy federal agents or National Guard troops to cities with high crime rates. Johnson said the order protects local autonomy and community trust, vowing to challenge any federal intervention in court.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"865\" data-end=\"1113\">The White House responded by accusing Democratic leaders of politicizing crime, with Trump insisting federal action would proceed regardless of city approval. The clash revives a familiar debate over federal versus local authority in public safety.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1115\" data-end=\"1377\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Chicago has recorded 272 homicides so far this year, slightly fewer than last year but still among the nation\u2019s highest. Community leaders warn that political battles risk overshadowing the urgent need to stop the violence, as families continue to bear the cost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>54 Shot, 7 Killed in Chicago Over Labor Day Weekend Amid Federal Tensions CHICAGO \u2014 At least 54 people were shot, seven fatally, across Chicago during the Labor Day weekend,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2280,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rinreports.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rinreports.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rinreports.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rinreports.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rinreports.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2279"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rinreports.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2279\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2281,"href":"https:\/\/rinreports.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2279\/revisions\/2281"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rinreports.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rinreports.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rinreports.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rinreports.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
