Hundreds of National Guard troops from Texas have arrived at an army training centre outside Chicago to support US President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.
Trump has branded Chicago a "war zone", following recent protests against federal immigration officials in the third-largest US city.
The deployment comes amid opposition from local officials. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has accused the Trump administration of an "authoritarian march" and said the state would "use every lever at our disposal to stop this power grab".
