Illinois village. JB Pritzkar told CBS News that the Trump administration has not communicated with its state Informed scheme To send military forces to Chicago, this idea was called “invasion” and President Trump argued the “other objective” separate from the break on crime.
A potential military deployment for the third largest city of America was asked about, which was recently reported Washington Post,
Mr. Trump has posted the National Guard forces and federal agents on the streets of two other major cities – Los Angeles and Washington, DC -, in recent months, what the President does as a rift against illegal immigration, violent crime and civil disturbance.
Last week, the President said that his administration could take equal steps in Chicago. Mr. Trump called the city “mess” and said against Mayor Brandon Johnson, “We will straighten it.”
Mr. Trump is planning to operate major immigration enforcement operations in Chicago which may begin the next week, the echo of a similar operation in Los Angeles, sources said CBS NewsAnd Washington Post Has reported The Pentagon plans to potentially send thousands of national guard members to the largest metro sector of Midwest in early September – although those schemes have not been publicly confirmed.
Pritzkar told CBS News that, if Mr. Trump sends a guard to Chicago, the voters should “understand that they have objectives other than fighting the crime.”
The governor argued that the President’s gambling “may be part of the plan to stop the elections in 2026 or, clearly, control those elections.”
He also called this idea “attack on American people”.
“Now, he may disagree with a state who did not vote for him. But, should he send the soldiers?”
White House spokesman Abigail Jackson dismissed the allegations of Pritzkar and exploded the city’s violent crime rate.
Jackson said in a statement to CBS News, “It is surprising that this Slob will go to avoid the terrible crime crisis that has been harassing Chicago for years.” “The residents of Chicago would be very safe if Pritzker really did his work and addressed his crime problem instead of trying to become a resistance Lib hero.”
The deployment of guards in Los Angeles and DC has drawn harsh pushbacks from elected officials who argue that the local police is better in handling the crime, and may warns the presence of federal agents and military personnel.
Future military deployment can also face legal challenges. While Mr. Trump controls DC National Guard outright, governors of 50 states usually control their own guard forces, leaving some circumstances.
The Trump administration deployed thousands of California National Guard members in Los Angeles on the objections of Gowin Gavin Newsom in June, arguing that they were required to protect facilities from federal immigration agents and stressful opposition in the city.
The state of California sued the administration, called the deployment illegal. An appeal court found that Mr. Trump had legal rights to call the state’s national guard, Under one law This allows the President to call in federal service during “rebellion” or if he is not “able to execute the United States laws.” Is a lower court Still reviewing Was the military forces improperly used for law enforcement purposes in Los Angeles.
