Chicago is resisting threats from President Donald Trump to Deploy the National Guard in the American Metropolis. Accordance to the City’s Mayor, The Military is not meean to “Occupy Our Cities.”
Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago Questions Trump’s Claim that the City is Being Overrun by Crime. Serious Crimes Such as Murder (Down 31 percent) and Shootings (Down 36 percent) Were Actually Much Less Common Last Year, Accordance to Data From the Local Police.
“We are investing heavy in Employment for Young People, Mental Health Care, Public Facilities, Affordable Housing and Equipping Our Police Sufficiently,” Johnson Tells NBC News . “That’s why we’re seing positive results.”
“Occupying Cities with the military does not create safe and affordable communities,” The Mayor Continues. Moreover, it is not the job of the “good” American Soldiers to “Occupy Our Cities.”
Trump Sent the National Guard to Washington Earlier This Month, He Said, to Clean Up Crime in the City. After the American Capital, Metropolises Such as Chicago and New York Will also have to believe it, The President Said on Friday.
National Guard in Washington Now also Armed
The American Government Has Been Planning The Deployment of Soldiers in Chicago For Weeks, CNN Reported on Saturday. “It’s a mess in Chicago and the Mayor is incompetent,” Trump Said Earlier About Johnson. It is Still Unclear How Many Troops Will Be deployed.
In Washington, Members of the National Guard Have also Been Carrying Weapons Since Sunday Evening, Sources Told ABC News and News Agency Reuters . The weapons should only be used in life-through situations and as a last resort.
Trump’s Attempts to take control in Large Cities and Thus Undermine the Sovereigtty of States Serve Several Purposes. Not only does he maximize his presidential powers, but he also underminines the authority of States that vote predominantly democratic.
Moreover, The Deployment of the National Guard Enables Trump to Carry Out One of his Most Important Agenda Items: Combating Immigration. In Washington, The Deployment of Troops result in a moderate decrease in crime, but a tenfold increase in the number of immigrants arrested, CNN reports in an analysis. Accordance to the American News Channel, that is also the goal in Chicago.
