Trump threatens to target Chicago next in crime and homelessness crackdown

President Donald Trump says Chicago will likely be the next target of his efforts to address crime, homelessness and illegal immigration. On Friday, Trump mentioned that Chicago could receive similar treatment to Washington, D.C., where 2,000 troops have been deployed. He also indicated plans to assist New York. Trump has often described some of the nation’s largest cities as dangerous. On Friday, he singled out Chicago, calling it a “mess” and claiming residents are “screaming for us to come.” City officials and advocates, meanwhile, slammed Trump's threats and emphasized drops in violent crime in Chicago.
