1. Federal Power and State Sovereignty: A Constitutional Flashpoint

1.1 Executive Action: Federal Forces Ordered into Chicago and Baltimore

The administration has dramatically escalated its domestic law enforcement posture, ordering federal intervention in major U.S. cities over the objections of state and local officials. President Trump announced that “federal troops are headed to Chicago. ‘We’re going in.’” [1] and confirmed he would order a federal intervention in Baltimore as well [2]. The deployment of National Guard troops to Baltimore is reportedly being ordered despite explicit opposition from city and state leaders [3]. The move triggered a sharp backlash from Illinois officials, with the state’s lieutenant governor accusing the President of seeking to “manufacture a crisis” and Governor J.B. Pritzker claiming the administration is preparing to send Texas National Guard troops into his state [4, 5].

Executive Summary

  • Federal-City Standoff: A major confrontation looms over Chicago as President Trump announces federal intervention (“WE’RE GOING IN”) to address violent crime, while Mayor Brandon Johnson calls for citizen resistance against the National Guard.
  • Executive-Judicial Clash: The administration is challenging judicial authority by signaling the military will remain in Los Angeles despite a federal judge ruling the National Guard’s activation in California was illegal.
  • Immigration Overhaul: The Pentagon authorized 600 military lawyers to act as immigration judges to expedite mass deportations, a move drawing praise, and sharp economic warnings from state leaders.
  • Major Policy Actions: The administration won a key court victory allowing it to cancel $16 billion in climate grants and is set to relocate Space Force HQ to Alabama.

1. Executive Actions & Federal Governance

1.1 Immigration & Border Enforcement

The administration is undertaking significant measures to accelerate immigration enforcement, most notably by militarizing the judicial process for deportations. The Pentagon has formally authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges, an action explicitly intended to speed up mass deportations by clearing the substantial case backlog [1]. This enforcement surge follows a United Nations report indicating that 14,000 U.S.-bound migrants have returned south since the implementation of new border policies by the Trump administration [2].

### 1.1. Trump to Issue Executive Order on Election Rules

The Trump administration is reportedly preparing a significant executive order designed to implement a nationwide overhaul of U.S. election procedures. According to reports, the order’s two central pillars are a federal ban on universal mail-in voting [1] and the institution of a mandatory voter ID requirement for every ballot cast. This new identification rule is being framed as absolute, with one report emphasizing that it will be enforced with “‘No Exceptions’” [2]. This executive action signals a major, direct move by the administration to reshape the framework of federal elections.
