US EditionTrump: Pritzker Should Beg for Help with Public Safety in Chicago
Legal challenges blocked President Trump’s attempt to deploy 500 National Guard troops in Chicago to address over 4,000 shootings reported in the past 18 months.
- Earlier this month, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker denounced troop deployment in Chicago, warning of `truly unconstitutional actions` and urging both parties to speak out.
- President Donald Trump said Monday he is `allowed to use the insurrection Act` and is "winning on appeal," citing past federalized deployments in Washington, D.C., amid claims of 4,000 shootings.
- Approximately 500 Guard soldiers from Illinois and Texas were activated, while a district judge blocked Chicago-area deployment for two weeks amid protests at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities and a federal appeals court limited troop patrols and protection of federal property Saturday.
- One reporter asked what message he had for Pritzker, and President Donald Trump said he should `beg for help`, accusing him of letting people be killed and highlighting taking down `1,700 career criminals` in Washington, D.C. as a model for Chicago.
- During his second term, President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to multiple cities including Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., and the Chicago dispute follows a recurring federal-state clash after his plan was stifled last week.
