Trump is “not welcome in Chicago” and his national guard, says Democratic Representative

A democratic representative from Illinois says that the threats of US President Donald Trump to deploy the National Guard in Chicago to eliminate the crime are “a waste of time” and “Chadrad”.

Hundreds of forces are patrolling in Washington, DC, for about two weeks. The president said it was necessary due to a rampant crime, despite the local police statements indicating its lowest level of violent crimes for 30 years in 2024.

Trump is thinking Sending forces to other cities run by democracyIncluding Chicago and Maryland.

“Chicago is a disaster,” Trump told reporters at the Oval Office earlier this week. “They need help, and we may wait. We may face or not.

Jesu (Choi) Garcia, the Democratic actor from Chicago, says he has no of them. Here is his conversation with Current Guest host Susan Bonner.

We are pleased to talk to you from a city that the president describes as a disaster. He says he can clean the crime within a week. What is your response to his plan?

He is not welcome in Chicago. This is not about public safety. The matter is not a matter of law and order. It is a presentation of strength and most of them are a theatrical performance, again, stressing its authoritarian intentions. This aims to create fear, silence and control. Sending forces to occupy cities they do not want does not enhance public safety, and we cannot accept this as a rule.

We have seen this in history, which is why Chicago is very opposed to filling the guard. Chicago also has a long history of being a safe haven for immigrants, women’s rights, for the LGBTQ community. The Democrats in Texas were here last month to obtain a shelter from the re -division of illegal and violation circles that occur in Texas.. For this reason, Trump entered Chicago.

Member of Congress, how bad crime problem in your city? President This indicates that, quote, “the killing field“

He does not know what he is talking about. Chicago’s most dangerous crimes have been in the past two years decreasing significantly. For example, the Chicago Police Administration stated that murders had decreased by 32 percent, robbery decreased by 36 percent, and fires decreased by 36 percent.

But these are high numbers, right? Crime numbers may decrease, but the starting point was very high. Do you admit it?

We have faced a problem with serious violence in Chicago. The crime increased during Covid and the epidemic without a doubt. We have faced a great challenge in terms of public safety, especially with regard to youth and their participation in gangs and other illegal activities.

We are not eggs. What we say is that significant progress is made.

The trend towards improving public safety is very encouraging. The goalkeeper’s mobilization will not improve public safety. The National Guard is not trained. It is a waste of time and it is a engine. This is part of the Trump strategy.

It is clear that the president sees that the crime is an issue that has it and the Republican Party. It has been noted that some cities targeted, including Chicago, are led by Democrats; The state is a democratic leadership.

How do you see this as a political issue, and how do you respond to people asserting that Democrats want to fight the crime as well?

Let’s be clear. Donald Trump is escalating his attack on Chicago because he needs distraction. From what? From EPSTEIN files is likely to criminalize Trump. The response to the re -division of circles in California and the fact that legislators in Texas resorted to Illinois is another reason. The capital, the capital, refuses to fill Trump. Of course, the mass mobilization that occurred throughout the whole country signs of rejecting its policies.

To what extent are you and the officials in your city and your mandate ready to go to ensure that the national guards do not appear?

Donald Trump is not very popular. As our ruler (JB Pritzker) said, all options to prevent filling the guard are on the table.

What kind of options on the table?

Legal options, and challenge the president’s attempt to mobilize the guard in court. But he also realizes that Chicago is very opposed, and that Illinois is very opposed, to manipulate the goalkeeper of political goals, which is going on around him.

This is all about dispersion. So we look, as I think, the peaceful demonstrations that the guard mobilize will create, as they were in California. Remember that filling the guard and the California naval is causing larger demonstrations.
