At least 54 people were shot,
seven fatally,
in Chicago over Labor Day weekend,
police said
. Most incidents were unrelated,
with few arrests made.
Fatalities included
two women, three men,
and two others not yet identified.
Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive
order barring Chicago police
from cooperating with federal authorities,
rejecting President Trump’s
push to send in troops or agents.
Johnson vowed to fight
any federal deployment in court,
while the White House accused Democrats
of politicizing crime instead
of addressing violence
. Chicago has reported
272 homicides so far this year.
