Transcript

[Paul Stevens]

Watching and waiting. I'm Paul Stevens, FOX News. President Trump's immigration crackdown could hit Chicago this weekend and some local Mexican heritage events. Fox's Mike Tobin.

[Mike Tobin]

The annual Mexican Independence Day parade here in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood, a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood here happens with the promise of enhanced ICE operations in the Chicagoland area. So it happens with a great deal of tension. Volunteers have been printing pamphlets telling people what to do if they encounter federal agents. They're even handing out whistles to people so they can sound the alarm. They spot anything out of the ordinary. But the organizer expects a peaceful event. Now, the talking point we keep hearing from Illinois Democrats is that President Trump, with this enhanced immigration enforcement, is trying to trigger a riot and therefore justify deploying the National Guard. We know that demonstrations are planned at the Naval Station Great Lakes, which is just north of the city of Chicago, and also one planned for downtown.

One arrest made so far for threats against ICE agents. Illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be deported to a tiny African country. Abrego Gargan Garcia, we've learned, has apparently been notified he'll be sent to Eswatini. Tensions rising in the southern Caribbean between Venezuela and the US After Venezuelan jets.

And President Trump says if those Venezuelan jets return and use provocative actions as the Pentagon deems threatening to that ship, the president has ordered those jets to be shot down.

Controversy over a new media report about the possible connection to autism and a common over the counter pain medication.

[Janice Dean]

Health and Human Services secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr. Has said he is determined to find the cause of the rise in autism. Now the Wall Street Journal reports the Department of Health and Human Services is set to release a report this month that is likely to suggest among the potential causes of autism, low levels of folate, an important vitamin, and Tylenol, an Hhs spokesperson is responding, saying we are using the gold standard science to get to the bottom of America's unprecedented rise in autism rates. Until we release the final report, any claims about its contents are nothing more than speculation. Tylenol's active ingredient is acetaminophen. It can help with pain relief, and over the years there have been several studies looking into whether its use during pregnancy is associated with the risk of autism, and there have been conflicting results.
