President Trump's threat to send federal agents to Chicago to fight crime is moving forward with agents arriving Sept. 2, and Chicagoans are speaking out.

The plans involve sending in hundreds of homeland security officers and using a naval base as a staging area.

The head of the Chicago Police Department warned protesters in the city that the rules of engagement for federal troops are different than for police.
