Trump will reportedly send 150 Homeland Security officers to Chicago this week. He also threatened to send federal agents to Detroit and Baltimore.

While homicides and shootings in Chicago are up 48 percent and 46 percent compared to last year, the city has long served as a nexus for the president’s concerns about law and order. Four days into his presidency, Trump called the crime rate in Chicago an example of the “carnage” he mentioned in his inaugural address and vowed to “send in the Feds” if the situation did not improve.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Monday, Trump threatened to extend the deployment of federal agents to other areas of the country. “I’m going to do something — that, I can tell you,” he said. “Because we’re not going to let New York and Chicago and Philadelphia and Detroit and Baltimore and all of these — Oakland is a mess. We’re not going to let this happen in our country. All run by liberal Democrats.
