US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (September 2) confirmed that he plans to deploy soldiers in Chicago and describes the city as a “hell.” When he talked to reporters in the White House, Trump did not provide a specific timeline for surgery.
Trump referred to recent weekend shooting of death in Chicago as a reason for his planned intervention. He emphasized the need to deal with what he called an increase in crime, and deploy deployment as a necessary measure to restore security.
The past deployment of the National Guard
The President emphasized the use of the National Guard in previous operations in Los Angeles and Washington, DC, noted that this deployment helped reduce the crime in these democratic cities. “We’re going inside,” Trump told reporters, signaling the commitment to replicate similar efforts in Chicago.
“I have a duty, the president said.” This is not a political thing. “
Trump’s announcement comes in the middle of the ongoing debates about the federal intervention in the local crime prevention.
Trump prevents Federal Crime Crackdowns
Trump emphasized the efforts of his administration to limit the crime in Washington, DC, noted that he had already deployed the National Guard units and federalized urban police forces. “We don’t have a crime. This city is now a safe zone,” Trump told the oval office.
“And this city was really bad,” Trump said, appreciating the federal enforcement of the right for their efforts. “We are really proud of what has been achieved.”
Praise and criticism of local officials
Trump, who praised the mayor of Washington Muriel Bowser for cooperation with the Federal authorities, criticized the democratic governor Illinois JB Pritzker for the contempt for the federal intervention in Chicago. “If the Governor Illinois called, call me, I’d like to do it,” Trump said, adding that the administration would move forward no matter. “We’ll do it anyway. We have the right to do it.”
Wider plans for federal action
Trump indicated that similar measures could be extended to other cities that experience a high degree of crime, especially those with democratic leadership. He stressed his responsibility for the protection of American cities and mentioned Baltimore as an example. “I have a duty to protect this country, and this includes Baltimore,” he said.
