Trump threatens to ‘send in the Feds’ to reduce crime in Chicago

By Tré Goins-Phillips

President Donald Trump, following a year of incredible violence in Chicago, is vowing to “send in the Feds” if the Windy City doesn’t get its “horrible carnage” under control.

If Chicago doesn’t fix the horrible “carnage” going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!

Not long after Trump issued the statement, Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights leader who has been outspoken about ending violence, criticized the president’s suggestion with a tweet of his own.

We need a plan, not a threat. We need jobs, not jails. #Chicago

Others on Twitter felt Trump was asserting the imposition of martial law if the violence does not end in Chicago.

We almost made it a whole week before he started talking about declaring martial law in a major city. https://t.co/AeISid2bAf
