After Los Angeles and Washington, soon Chicago. “We are going to intervene” in this city, said the president of the United States, Donald Trump, on Tuesday, September 2, without specifying when he intended to deploy the Federal Police there, as has been the case of mid -August in the US capital.
“Rats Hole”, “World Capital of Murder”, “The most dangerous city in the world, with much”: Donald Trump competes in qualifiers to describe what, in his eyes, the megalopolis of the north of the United States, and justifies the next shipment of the National Guard. When? It is still an interrogation sign.
“Chicago does not want troops in its streets,” he replied shortly after the Illinois JB Pritzker Democratic governor, saying “ready to fight in court” any military deployment and asking its inhabitants to make their voices heard peacefully.
“We do not want or need a military occupation,” resumed the mayor of the city, Brandon Johnson, in unison.
“None of this is destined to fight crime or make Chicago safer. Nothing. For Trump, it is a matter of proveing his power and creating a political show to hide his corruption,” he attacked JB Pritzker during a press conference that brings together the main local political leaders.
“No emergency justifies the deployment of soldiers”
“There is no emergency that justifies the deployment of soldiers,” he insisted on the Democratic governor, emphasizing that the murders have yielded almost 50% in the last four years.
At the beginning of the day, in his real social platform, Donald Trump promised to “resolve the speed of speed crime” in Chicago, “like me in Washington.”
Since mid -August, he has imposed the deployment of federal troops in the US capital. Armed soldiers equipped with armored vehicles have patrold it from the streets or in the subway, especially close to national institutions and monuments.
Washington “is now a safe place,” the Republican President said Tuesday. It also threatens to send the Federal Police and soldiers to other important democratic cities such as New York, Baltimore or Boston.
The governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker and his counterpart, Wes Moore, head of Maryland (east), where Baltimore is, accuses Donald Trump of “making crisis” to justify the sending of federal forces to democratic states.
“We are going to fight this fight throughout the United States, but first we must defend ourselves with us,” he launched this Monday during a demonstration, Chicago Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson, who took a decree destined to limit the authority of any federal police force in his city.
Donald Trump as “dictator” for the governor
Governor Pritzker, who has already treated Donald Trump as a “dictator”, even suspects that he seeks, through the multiplication of this type of intervention, to question tenure in November 2026 of the legislative elections of the middle of the period.
The deployment of reserves of the National Guard to guarantee the maintenance of the order in Los Angeles, after localized and sporadic demonstrations in June against the repressive migration policy of Donald Trump, has just been judged on Tuesday by a federal judge considered illegal.
This decision will only enter into force until September 12, which leaves the American Supreme Court, most conservatives, time to decide the file.
The sending of several thousand troops and the marine garden in the Californian megalopolis had been made without the agreement of the state governor in question, Democrat Gavin Newsom, the first in the United States since 1965.
