From Texas to Illinois, I'm Dave Anthony. FOX News. National Guard troops have arrived, but Democrats say they aren't welcome after Chicago's mayor established ice free zones that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch tells Fox. Essentially establishing places where illegal aliens can be harbored, that's a crime. Fox's Mike Tobin reports from Chicago. The Texas National Guard has arrived southwest of Chicago at an army training facility near the city of Joliet. Despite emotional opposition from Chicago leaders. President Trump also wants to federalize Illinois National Guard troops. The state's attorney general tried to block that in court. The judge refused but gave the Trump administration a today deadline to answer questions about when the Guard will arrive, where will they be sent and what will they do once deployed. A federal judge has blocked the president from sending Guard troops to Portland, Oregon to deal with protests against immigration raids. Homeland Security Secretary Christine Ohm took part in one there. Let me let you out.

No, not let you out. You're under arrest. You're under arrest. Are you here in the United States illegally?

He admitted. And yes, he is. James Comey goes to court this morning in Virginia. The arraignment moved up a day for the former FBI director.
Reporter/Correspondent
The judge said that federal courthouse on Thursday will be the site of a number of high profile cases and large crowds are expected to be there, prompting the date change. Comey, who was appointed FBI director by President Obama and served into the first Trump administration before being fired in May 2017, was indicted late last month on account each of lying to Congress and and obstructing a federal proceeding.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry tells us that nine boats were stopped in the Mediterranean Sea while attempting to breach the Naval blockade of Gaza. 145 activists taken to shore for processing. They're said by the Israelis to be in good health. Turkey is calling the interception an act, act of piracy. Last week a separate flotilla with more than 450 people on board was blocked by the Israeli military. Some of those activists, including Greta Thunberg, claimed they were mistreated.
