On tonight's episode of 'Politics Nation', host Reverend Al Sharpton discusses how Chicago is preparing for a federal crackdown on immigration and crime by a president who claims to support peace and law and order but is increasingly talking about war. Less than 24 hours after signing an order to rename the Defense Department, the commander-in-chief posted on social media this afternoon, asserting that "Chicago is about to find out why it's called the Department of War." This threatening message comes as the administration already attempts to expand its policing efforts in Washington, D.C. and faces court rulings that declared the president's deployment of the National Guard to handle anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles illegal.

On tonight's episode of "Politics Nation," host Reverend Al Sharpton addresses the national alert following the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. This tragedy has ignited a discussion about the rising threat of political violence as federal investigators examine the incident in Utah. 

The administration is also advocating for crime-fighting measures in American cities, with Memphis, Tennessee, potentially being the next focus. Reverend Al Sharpton speaks with Mayor Paul Young, a Democrat, about this tonight. 

Additionally, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo will join the show to discuss his bid for Mayor of New York City, sharing his thoughts on reducing political tensions and his stance on the Trump agenda if elected.
