There is a burden of being in power. Democrats control all the major cities. I am a democrat. I want democrats to win.Wait so know the crime in DC was the fault of immigrants?
Either democrats turn around public perception on crime or…Trump will.
Figure it out.
How low should the crime rate be?Why trump hitting all the blue States and not none of the red states
I have to update the title.
Breaking news he’s sending in the military into Chicago
Pentagon plans military deployment in Chicago as Trump eyes crackdown Military officials are sketching out a plan that could deploy a few thousand National Guard members, officials said. The use of active-duty forces has also been discussed. 4 minutes ago
The Pentagon has for weeks been planning a military deployment to Chicago as President Donald Trump seeks to crack down on crime, homelessness and undocumented immigration, in a model that could later be used in other major cities, officials familiar with the matter said. The planning, which has not been previously disclosed, involves several options, including mobilizing at least a few thousand members of the National Guard as soon as September to what is the third most populous city in the United States. The mission, if approved, would have parallels to the polarizing operation that Trump ordered in Los Angeles in June, when he deployed 4,000 members of the California National Guard and 700 active-duty Marines despite the protests of state and local leaders. The use of thousands of active-duty troops in Chicago also has been discussed but is considered less likely at this time, said two officials, who, like others interviewed, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
The Chicago effort would further expand Trump’s use of military force domestically, even when state and local authorities call the idea unwelcome and unwarranted. Administration officials have defended such deployments, arguing that they are taking necessary steps to bring back law and order.
Trump on Friday touted his ongoing National Guard intervention in D.C., where more than 2,200 Guard members have been deployed in what he has cast as an overdue effort to crack down on crime. He zeroed in on Chicago as the next target. “Chicago’s a mess. You have an incompetent mayor. Grossly incompetent,” Trump said, in remarks that were immediately dismissed by Chicago’s leaders as unfounded. “And we’ll straighten that one out probably next. That’ll be our next one after this. And it won’t even be tough.” The officials familiar with the matter said that a military intervention in Chicago has long been in planning, probably in conjunction with expanded operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to search for undocumented migrants.
The White House on Saturday declined to answer questions, referring instead to Trump’s comments in the Oval Office on Friday. The Pentagon said in a statement that it would not “speculate on future operations.” “The Department is a planning organization and is continuously working with other agency partners on plans to protect federal assets and personnel,” the statement said. The Pentagon plans for future deployments come as the Trump administration pressures state and local leaders to allow the federal government to do more to find and deport undocumented immigrants. Attorney General Pam Bondi recently sent a letter to numerous state, county and local leaders stating that “sanctuary policies” impede law enforcement and will be legally contested. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, both Democrats, hit back at Trump in comments Friday, with the governor accusing Trump of attempting to “create chaos.” “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,” Pritzker said. “Trump’s goal is to incite fear in our communities and destabilize existing public safety efforts — all to create a justification to further abuse his power.”

National Guard mobilizing in 19 states amid immigration, crime crackdown
Up to 1,700 National Guardsmen will deploy across 19 states to support ICE in President Trump’s immigration crackdown, effectively serving as support for an interagency effort.

Red States - Probably targeting the big cities in the red states - and those big cities 1) vote blue, 2) have significant black populations.

chicago might have a problem with crime thats pretty much agreed upon by everyone.
the question is why chicago and not the red states that account for much higher crime rates.
this is performative bs like everything this admin does

If you want impeachment, this would be a legit act..
I'm very interested how the governor of Illinois will handle this.
They could shut it down quickly by pulling all illinois guardsmen under their control and refusing release to the Fed.
that said if he did mobilize troops you have him on blatant violation of posse commitus act grounds for impeachment.

Because it's a social media blitz designed to win votes
Statistics don't matter anymore it's about optics
