For people who haven't spent much time in Chicago, it is a very big place (over 10,000 square miles). There are hundreds of suburbs, all blending together. Texas sending 300 troops to "invade" is problematic of course, but it is a PR stunt, nothing more.

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

The woman "rammed" her car into a car being used by agents, the Department of Homeland Security said. But a watchdog group said it was federal agents who caused a car crash and used "brutal tactics."
