On Monday, President Trump continued to flirt with the idea of mobilizing the National Guard forces to combat crime in Chicago, just one day after clarifying that he had no intention to “go to war” with the American city.
Local law enforcement to stabilize local law enforcement was a constant confirmation of the president, which on Saturday, Saturday War images use And referring to the movie “Apocalypse Now” to indicate that the newly renovated war ministry can descend to the city run by Democrats.
Trump explained on Sunday that his position was supposed to be transferred He wants to “clean” the cityOn Monday, the possibility of deploying federal agents in the city – a move by the governor of Illinois JB Pritzker, who is strongly democratic.
“I don’t know why Chicago does not call that we say, please give us help,” Trump said during a speech at the Bible Museum in Washington, DC.
A few hours ago, Trump posted on social media that he wanted to “help the Chicago people, and not harm them” – A statement that Pritzker mocked without loyalHe said Trump “threatened an American city of the Ministry of War.”
“Once again, this is not a matter of combating crime. This requires support and coordination – however we have not faced anything like that during the past few weeks,” Pritzker said in a post on X. “Instead of taking steps to work with us on public safety, the Trump administration focused on intimidating Illinois.”
The White House did not respond when asked if Trump would send the National Guard forces to Chicago without a request from the ruler. However, the Ministry of Internal Security announced in a press statement on Monday that it was launching the enforcement of immigration “to target the worst illegal foreigners in Chicago.”
For weeks, Trump talked about the army’s sending to Chicago and other cities led by the Democrats – a procedure by the conservative exhibitor over and over again. Most Americans oppose the idea, According to the recent CBS/Yougov pollBut the Republican rule largely sees Trump as a way to reduce crime.
If Trump is deploying American forces in cities, this will follow similar operations in Washington, DC and Los Angeles – a federal judge said last week that he is illegal and that Trump “creates a national police force with the president as his president,” but Trump is a victories.
In his remarks on Monday, Trump claimed that he “saved Los Angeles” and that the crime reaches “almost nothing” in Washington because he decided to send military forces to patrols in cities. Trump reduced the cases of domestic violence, saying that these are “much less things” that should not be taken into account when trying to distinguish whether his efforts to combat crime have succeeded in the country’s capital.
“The things that happen at home, call the crime. They will do anything they can find something,” Trump expressed. “If a man has a small fight with the wife, they say this is a crime. Now, I cannot claim 100 %, but we are a safe city.”
“We can do the same,” Trump said in other cities, such as Chicago and New York City.
“We are waiting for a call from Chicago,” Trump said. “We’ll fix Chicago.”
Matt Hill, a spokesman for Illinois Governor, said, from Monday noon, said the Pritzker office after any “official contact or information from the Trump administration” about the possible plans to deploy forces in the city.
“Like the audience and the press, we learn their operations through social media while trying to present a realistic TV program,” Hill said in an email. “If he is interested in connecting real solutions to Illinois, we will hear from him.”
Pritzker said, in comments published on social media on Sunday, that the Trump administration was trampling on the constitutional rights of citizens “in a fake curtain of crime control.”
“Once Donald Trump gets the citizens of this nation comfortably with the current atrocities committed under the color of the law – what comes after that?” He said.
