Trump’s week shaped by crime agenda, potential guard deployment to Chicago
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
More details of President Donald Trump’s potential deployment of additional National Guard troops to Chicago could come into focus this week.
The move comes as the Trump administration doubles down on its tough-on-crime agenda, seeking a larger federal footprint in Democrat-led cities, drawing pushback from local leaders who contend the move is political.
TRUMP VOWS TO MAKE DC ‘SAFER’ AND ‘BEAUTIFUL’ AS CAPITAL BATTLES CRIME AND HOMELESSNESS
On Friday, Trump said he would address crime in other major U.S. cities, describing D.C. as a «hellhole» before federal law enforcement and more than 2,200 National Guard members were mobilized to patrol the city’s streets. «Now it’s safe,» the president said a day after visiting with deployed troops in the capital.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said last week that more than 700 arrests have been made in D.C. since Aug. 11.

Trump said he would expand security efforts to other major U.S. cities across the country, singling out Chicago but offering few specifics.
«Chicago’s a mess. You have an incompetent mayor. Grossly incompetent,» Trump said on Friday, adding that the Windy City will «be our next one after this,» a reference to the current security presence in Washington.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, a Democrat, said in a statement on Friday that his city has yet to receive details about additional federal law enforcement or military deployments to Chicago. He called the Trump administration’s efforts «uncoordinated, uncalled-for and unsound.»
CHICAGO MAYOR SLAMS TRUMP’S NATIONAL GUARD DEPLOYMENT PLAN
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said in a statement Saturday that he has also not heard from the federal government and noted that his state has not requested security assistance.
Chicago, home to about 2.7 million people, has topped the nation in homicides for 13 straight years, logging 573 in 2024 alone, according to the city’s own figures.
It is not immediately clear what the size and scope of the potential deployment in Chicago will be, or when it might begin.
Over the weekend, Trump threatened to send the National Guard to Baltimore following an invitation from Maryland Gov. Wes Moore to attend a public safety walk and learn about the security needs.

«As President, I would much prefer that he clean up this crime disaster before I go there for a walk,» Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. He added that he could deploy National Guard members to Maryland in order to «quickly clean up the crime.» The president added that he did not appreciate the tone of Moore’s Aug. 21 invitation.
TRUMP SAYS HE COULD SEND THE NATIONAL GUARD TO MARYLAND TO ADDRESS CRIME
Earlier this month, the Trump administration rolled out plans to curb crime and the growing homeless population in the nation’s capital.
«The Mayor of D.C., Muriel Bowser, is a good person who has tried, but she has been given many chances, and the crime numbers get worse, and the city only gets dirtier and less attractive. The American public is not going to put up with it any longer,» Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Aug. 10.

Trump wrote in a separate Truth Social post that he wants the homeless to «immediately» move «far from» the nation’s capital. «The criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong,» he wrote in the same post, adding that the new crackdowns on both issues are «going to happen very fast.»

«There will be no «MR. NICE GUY.» We want our Capital BACK,» Trump wrote, adding that more details on these efforts will be laid out during a press conference on Monday.

Computación cuántica modular: cómo funciona el sistema que promete crecer pieza por pieza
Un equipo de científicos en la Universidad de Illinois Urbana-Champaign encontró una manera de conectar piezas de computadoras cuánticas como si fueran bloques de Lego. La idea es similar a cuando, en los años noventa, se armaban computadoras personales pieza por pieza: se compraba un procesador, una tarjeta gráfica, un disco rígido y, al ensamblarlos, se lograba una máquina más potente.
De acuerdo con un artículo publicado en Nature Electronics, el equipo desarrolló una propuesta técnica que busca que los ordenadores cuánticos sean escalables y reconfigurables. En lugar de apostar por un solo bloque grande, cada módulo contiene sus propios cúbits superconductores y puede conectarse a otros mediante cables desmontables. “La arquitectura modular permite superar este desafío mediante un ensamblaje tipo Lego, reconfiguración y expansión, en un espíritu similar al de los ordenadores clásicos modernos”, concluyen los responsables de la investigación citados por la revista.
El sistema utiliza un cable coaxial superconductor como “bus cuántico”, que no solo une los módulos, sino que logra transmitir excitaciones y crear entrelazamiento entre los cúbits de distintas partes. El equipo liderado por Michael Mollenhauer y Wolfgang Pfaff alcanzó puertas SWAP entre módulos con un “1 % de pérdida en menos de 100 ns”. Esta marca resulta decisiva porque logra el rango de error mínimo necesario para que la corrección cuántica funcione y los códigos puedan ejecutarse de forma eficiente.
La propuesta quiere atacar el mayor obstáculo en el sector: pasar de prototipos pequeños a sistemas con millones de cúbits. Los ordenadores tradicionales fabricados en un solo chip resultan difíciles de ampliar y sus operaciones pierden fidelidad a medida que crecen. Los investigadores afirman que su modularidad permitiría ampliar los sistemas al agregar nuevas piezas ya probadas, optimizando el rendimiento sin que dependa de que cada elemento sea perfecto. “El rendimiento global de la máquina no dependerá de que todos los componentes sean perfectos, sino de la capacidad de integrarlos de forma eficiente”, detalla el artículo de Nature Electronics.
Otro logro relevante fue la demostración de que los cúbits de diferentes módulos pueden alcanzar una fidelidad en el entrelazamiento del 97,4 %. Este dato sitúa la propuesta cerca de la fiabilidad de los sistemas de un solo chip y elimina la distancia física como impedimento insalvable. El sistema también posibilita que el cable se quede desmontado y vuelva a conectarse sin que la calidad caiga de manera significativa.
El texto destaca que la filosofía modular devuelve a la computación cuántica una flexibilidad ya habitual en los viejos ordenadores clónicos. Según Pfaff, “la idea es poder construir un sistema que se pueda montar, desmontar y volver a montar, manteniendo al mismo tiempo operaciones de muy alta calidad”. El enfoque permite probar los módulos por separado, detectar fallos antes de integrarlos y efectuar reemplazos sin iniciar el proceso desde cero. Además, los módulos cuánticos se pueden fabricar y testear individualmente, como se hacía con las tarjetas gráficas y discos duros en los años noventa, para luego conectar únicamente aquellos que pasan las más duras pruebas de fidelidad.
La modularidad significa también que el usuario podrá construir redes cuánticas distribuidas. Los científicos aseguran que el nuevo esquema hace posible “la generación de entrelazamiento de alta fidelidad y la operación de un cúbit lógico distribuido”. Varios módulos podrían colaborar como si fueran un único procesador lógico, repartiéndose cálculos complejos entre diferentes unidades.
No todo está resuelto. Según precisaron los autores del proyecto, el conector necesita mejorar para no comprometer la coherencia de los cúbits. Las pruebas actuales indican que esos tiempos —el lapso durante el cual un cúbit mantiene su estado cuántico— son algo menores que en dispositivos convencionales sin cables desmontables. Sin embargo, los experimentos muestran un sistema robusto y capaz de soportar varios ciclos de ensamblaje y desensamblaje sin grandes pérdidas de calidad.
Esta arquitectura tampoco limita la compatibilidad a una sola clase de cúbits. Según la investigación, “nuestro interconector no requiere elementos de circuito adicionales más allá de la no linealidad intrínseca de los cúbits, lo que lo hace aplicable también a otros tipos”. Así, el sistema podría adaptarse a innovaciones como los cúbits fluxonium y a máquinas híbridas.
El plan para el futuro inmediato contempla conectar más de dos módulos y mantener la detección de errores y la posibilidad de ampliar el procesador pieza a pieza. El equipo de Illinois proyecta construir procesadores distribuidos capaces de sumar capacidad sin límites, acercando a la tecnología cuántica a la idea de un ordenador competitivo y personalizable como los clónicos que impulsaron la revolución informática de los años noventa.

The top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee is again standing firm against President Donald Trump’s demand that Senate tradition be changed to ram through his district court and U.S. attorney nominees.
Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, came under fire from Trump again late Sunday night over the Senate’s «blue slips,» a longstanding practice in the upper chamber that the president wants to be done away with.
A blue slip effectively gives Senate Republicans and Democrats the ability to veto district court and U.S. attorney nominees in their home states.

But Grassley argued in a response on X Monday that without blue slips, none of Trump’s nominees would pass muster in the Senate.
«A U.S. Atty/district judge nominee without a blue slip does not [have] the votes to get confirmed on the Senate floor & they don’t [have] the votes to get out of [committee],» Grassley said. «As chairman I set [President] Trump noms up for SUCCESS NOT FAILURE.»
Trump argued that it was his constitutional right to appoint judges and U.S. attorneys, but the right had been «completely taken away from me in States that have just one Democrat United States Senator.»

«This is because of an old and outdated ‘custom’ known as a BLUE SLIP, that Senator Chuck Grassley, of the Great State of Iowa, refuses to overturn, even though the Democrats, including Crooked Joe Biden (Twice!), have done so on numerous occasions,» Trump said.
«Therefore, the only candidates that I can get confirmed for these most important positions are, believe it or not, Democrats! Chuck Grassley should allow strong Republican candidates to ascend to these very vital and powerful roles, and tell the Democrats, as they often tell us, to go to HELL,» he continued.

Senate Democrats have indeed used the blue slip tradition this year to block some of Trump’s picks for the bench as part of their broader log jam of his nominees.
For example, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., used his blue slip privileges to nix Trump’s U.S. Attorney nominees for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.
And Sens. Cory Booker and Andy Kim, both Democrats from New Jersey, used the blue slip to object to Alina Habba’s nomination to U.S. Attorney in the Garden State. Habba was tapped by Trump to serve in the role on an interim basis, but after her term expired a panel of judges opted to not extend her position.
A replacement was chosen but then fired by Attorney General Pam Bondi. Trump then withdrew his nomination for Habba and restored her interim status.
«Habba was withdrawn as the President’s nominee for New Jersey U.S. Atty on July 24,» Grassley said. «[And] the [Judiciary Committee] never received any of the paperwork needed for the Senate to vet her nomination.»
Trump’s renewed ire comes after he singled out Grassley last month for not nixing the longstanding tradition, which is not a law, and demanded that he «have the courage» to change the practice.

It also comes after Senate Republicans and Democrats failed to reach a deal on ramming through many of the president’s nominees before leaving Washington for all of August.
Finding a pathway forward, including a likely change to the Senate’s confirmation process, is expected to be a top priority for Republicans when they return to the Hill after Labor Day.

France has summoned American ambassador Charles Kushner to Paris, after the diplomat accused the country of not doing enough to combat antisemitism in a letter to French President Emmanuel Macron.
France’s foreign ministry said in a statement issued Sunday that Kushner’s allegations «are unacceptable,» and announced it had summoned the U.S. diplomat to appear Monday at the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs.
Kushner, who is Jewish, wrote in the letter that antisemitic incidents in France have been fueled by French government statements about recognizing a Palestinian state.
«Public statements haranguing Israel and gestures toward recognition of a Palestinian state embolden extremists, fuel violence, and endanger Jewish life in France. In today’s world, anti-Zionism is antisemitism – plain and simple,» Kushner wrote.

Kushner further urged Macron «to act decisively: enforce hate-crime laws without exception, ensure the safety of Jewish schools, synagogues and businesses … and abandon steps that give legitimacy to Hamas and its allies.»

The French foreign ministry said in its statement that «France firmly rejects these allegations» from Kushner, adding that French authorities have «fully mobilized» to combat a rise in antisemitic acts since Hamas launched a deadly attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The ministry further deemed antisemitic acts «intolerable.»
The ministry said Kushner’s allegations violate international law and the obligation not to interfere with the internal affairs of another country, adding that they «also fall short of the quality of the transatlantic partnership between France and the United States and of the trust that must prevail between allies.»
FROM GAZA TO GREENLAND, MACRON BREAKS WITH TRUMP ON GLOBAL FLASHPOINTS
The U.S. State Department, however, said it backed Kushner and his comments, department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said Sunday evening.
«Ambassador Kushner is our U.S. government representative in France and is doing a great job advancing our national interests in that role,» Pigott said.
Macron has been critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the war in Gaza continues, while President Donald Trump has been a staunch supporter of the Israeli leader.
