Chicago techniques for Trump’s National Guard plan

On the southern side of Chicago, a few people seemed to be prepared for President Donald Trump’s forces.

But many here will tell you about another battle – one for the lives of young people.

We traveled across the reputable neighborhoods of violent crime levels. In one of them, Bronziville, we went to the place where seven people were shot and wounded in an attack from a car to drive last week.

It was a mass of Chicago Police for the headquarters. The victims were among at least 58 people, eight people, eight killers, across the city during the Labor Day at the weekend.

Rob White, a young coach who is trying to reversed their slide into gangs, told us: “You can imagine how the residents feel this (things) that occur under their nose,” referring to the attack that occurred near the giant and fortified police building.

On Friday, Trump said he decided in another American city where he planned to deploy the National Guard forces while he said it would be an attempt to help fight crime – without revealing the site.

But the colleague of Mr. White, Kanoya Ali, faced Trump’s assertion.

“The result (a decrease in crime) has already occurred,” Ali said. “The forces are already here. We are the forces.”

Trump was martyred in the numbers of the Crime of Workers’ Day earlier this week as part of his threat to Chicago. He told reporters that the National Guard would “go” to address what he called a crime “out of control.”

This was followed by similar moves recently in Los Angeles and Washington, DC. In Chicago, the city and the authorities of the Democrats run by the city pledged to resist publishing before Illinois Governor JB Pritzker The president called “unprotected”.

In fact, the violent crime in Chicago has decreased significantly over the past two years.

Between January and June, the killing rate decreased by a third compared to the same period last year, according to the Criminal Justice Council.

But the total levels of Chicago are still much higher than the average of many American cities.

Supervisor Larry Senning, who heads the force of the Chicago Police Department, told us that killings decreased by 125 last year, as the shooting victims decreased by more than 700.

“The National Guard does not have the powers of the police. They do not have the powers of arrest,” he said.

“There must be some dangerous coordination between the Police Department and the National Guard … If I can get more officers, (I would like) help, 100 percent,” added Mr. Sinelj.

In a temporary semester, Mr. White, the coach, was launched in an unusual Soliloquy. He was sitting around a young table, and all the participants in Chicago Keris, who is not profitable with the aim of reducing armed violence.

Mr. White asked about the hands of the hands: “How many of you went to the joint or going to the province?” Several hands went up.

“Keep your hand if it is shot.” More hands.

After that, we discussed the president’s proposal to deploy the forces.

“Getting the militia will not be the answer to this problem, right?” Mr. White said.

But the lines became blatant when we crossed another neighborhood, Canarville.

Hanging from the walls of the sit -in separating the promoters, stars and lines, mixed with the flames of the Blue -supporting campaign.

Here, Trump’s military threat was a third American city.

“I cannot wait until they get here,” said Tom Stac, 68, shouting on the street from us.

“You must get rid of criminals. This city is crazy, there is a lot of crime, it is logical,” he said.

According to Mr. White, the problem was partially caused by the financing discounts provided by the Trump administration to the crime prevention programs in Chicago and other places.

It is now a sharp complaint by Democrats who manage the city, saying that financing programs targeting weapons trafficking from states with the most flexible arms laws from Illinois was decisive in regulating the rise of violent crime.

Trump had previously defended federal funding discounts for projects similar to crime prevention, accusing the cities of the “radical left” or “woke up” to criminal justice policies.

On Saturday, Trump again looked threatening to send the forces to Chicago.

In a publication on the social truth, the president shared a photo invoking Apocalypse now. “I love the smell of deportation in the morning …” Chicago is about to know a reason called the Ministry of War. “

While Trump may deploy the National Guard forces in a campaign of violent crime, he can also order them to support the city’s main migration operation. The population of Chicago Latini is the second largest racist or ethnic group in the city, with more than 800,000 residents For us, census data.

In one of the major Latin societies in Chicago, Little Village, there are flags ready to celebrate the Day of Mexican Independence. But there is also anxiety, as many factors of fear of enforcement of migration and customs (ICE) can soon start in comprehensive raids.

Outside the local packaging factory, dozens of workers are now in their thirteenth week of strike. They ask, among other demands, about a written guarantee from the employer that they will be protected from the unjustified workplace raids.

On the sit -in line, Arturo Landa, a mechanic, said he was concerned about the ice agents targeting society.

“We have seen a lot of things. They stop people (in other cities), and the new administration does not care if someone has its documents. They distinguish on the skin of people,” he said.

The Trump administration, which continues at the ice raids in Los Angeles and Washington, has repeatedly said it targeted immigrants who are illegally documented in the country and bore their promise to deport them.

In Chicago, it was concerned that the city was the next one that has witnessed the major immigration raids has prompted the organizers to postpone El Grito Chicago next week, the official festival of the city for Mexican Independence Day.

In a message on social media, they wrote: “It was a painful decision, but the EL Grito Chicago contract at this time puts the safety of our society at stake – this is a danger that we do not want to take.”
