The White House has reportedly paused plans to deploy the National Guard to Chicago due to internal disputes among federal agencies and concerns about a repeat of a previous incident in Georgia, according to a social media post by "MalcontentmentT" at approximately 1:24 AM UTC on September 14th, 2025. The post suggests that the decision stems not from legal concerns, but rather from an internal conflict between ICE, CBP, State, and Commerce departments. This development comes amidst continued discussions surrounding political rhetoric and its impact on violence, following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. While the specific timing of the White House's decision is not detailed in the new source, the report indicates a recent shift in the administration's approach to the situation in Chicago. Previous reports from September 13th, 2025, indicated that the Trump administration was requesting $58 million from Congress for enhanced security for the executive and judicial branches following Kirk's assassination. Haliey Welch had also condemned online celebrations of Kirk's death on X at approximately 11:30 PM UTC on September 13th, 2025, calling those who applauded the event "sick individuals."
