STORYLINE:
The Governor of Illinois and the mayor of Chicago responded on Tuesday to President Donald Trump announcing that he will direct federal law enforcement intervention to combat crime in Chicago and Baltimore.
JB Pritzker, the Governor of Illinois told the press "Chicago does not want troops on our streets."
A stance that Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson repeated during the press briefing adding "we do not want or need militarized immigration enforcement in our city."
Asked Tuesday by reporters in the Oval Office about sending National Guard troops to Chicago, Trump said, “We’re going in,” but added, “I didn’t say when.”
He also said: “I have an obligation. This isn’t a political thing.”
Trump has already sent National Guard troops into Washington and federalized the police force in the nation’s capital.
More recently, he has said he plans similar moves in other cities, particularly those run by Democratic officials.
