Paul Stevens
Some early pushback. I'm Paul Stevens, Fox News. In Chicago Saturday, protests amid rumors growing of a coming ICE crackdown and the possible use of National Guard troops as ordered by the Trump White House.
[00:14]
Madeleine Rivera
Thousands of people gathered in downtown Chicago Saturday protesting against federal intervention. Many of these people carrying signs and banners rejecting the deployment of troops and calling for ICE to be abolished. You see those signs and banners? The protests extended outside of the city. More than 100 protesters assembled outside side of Naval Station Great Lakes in northern Chicago. It is set to be used as a hub for the administration's immigration crackdown. Chicago is bracing for more immigration enforcement. President Trump issuing a warning on Truth Social, saying he loves the smell of deportations in the morning. It appears to be a reference to a line from the movie Apocalypse Now. The president also saying Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of War, referring to the name change for the Defense Department.

Paul Stevens
And that's vox's Madeleine Rivera, a teenage computer whiz now posthumously named the first ever millennial saint.
[01:06]
Carlo Acutis
Carlo Kutis really signals a new era for the Catholic Church, I have to say, because Carlo Kutis actually gives the Catholic Church two things it really sorely needs. It needs more young people, more young voices, but it also needs more voices of faith. And he has done both because of creating that website documenting eucharistic miracles. And what people may not understand is the Eucharist, the believing of the real presence of Jesus Christ in the unleavened bread is the core of Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity. It's what separates them from Protestantism really. So Carlo Acutis actually gives the church both of those.

A big shake up in politics in Japan.
[02:32]
Japanese Political Correspondent
Japanese Prime Minister Shiji Ru Ishaba is reportedly resigning. He says he's stepping down to avoid divisions within his ruling Liberal Democratic Party.

Fox's Jackie Ibanez, the prime minister had previously told his nation that he intended to stay in office. The state of Hawaii getting ready for Hurricane Kiko, which is now weakened to a Category 3 but is still packing.

A punch as storm season continues and Kiko moves towards the Central Pacific. Preparation and planning for any natural disaster is key and unlike last month's tsunami scare, this time you can get a head start. The Dem says these extra days can be a chance to make sure your homes are prepared both from the inside and out. Stock up on any supplies you don't have, but do it now while supplies last. City Mail and other stores will have all the hurricane prepared supplies you need, sometimes conveniently right in the front. Nathan Shinagawa, K2N2 News Working for Hawaii.
