This move, which is linked to Trump’s crackdown on crime, illegal immigration and homelessness, could include mobilising at least “a few thousand members of the National Guard as soon as September.”<\/p>\n
Earlier on Friday, Trump hinted that he had his eyes set on Chicago.<\/p>\n
\u201cChicago\u2019s a mess. You have an incompetent mayor. Grossly incompetent. And we\u2019ll straighten that one out probably next. That\u2019ll be our next one after this. And it won\u2019t even be tough,” said Trump as he named the cities he would like to “clean up.”<\/p>\n
As per the Washington Post report, officials familiar with the matter said that a military intervention in Chicago “has long been in planning,” and in conjunction with expanded ICE operations to search for undocumented migrants in the city.<\/p>\n

“After using Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. as his testing ground for authoritarian overreach, Trump is now openly flirting with the idea of taking over other states and cities,\u201d Pritzker said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTrump\u2019s goal is to incite fear in our communities and destabilize existing public safety efforts \u2014 all to create a justification to further abuse his power,’ the governor added.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson cited grave concerns over Trump’s statement and future plans. “The problem with the President\u2019s approach is that it is uncoordinated, uncalled for, and unsound,” the mayor said.<\/p>\n
