Mayor blasts Trump’s threat to deploy National Guard to Chicago

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is rejecting Donald Trump’s threat to deploy the National Guard to the city, calling it unconstitutional and unnecessary given recent drops in murders, shootings, and car thefts.

Johnson said Chicago’s investments in youth jobs, mental health, and affordable housing are driving crime reductions, not military force.

Illinois officials, including Gov. JB Pritzker, vowed to fight any federal overreach, while the ACLU warned of legal challenges if troops are sent without state approval, NBC News has reported.

Trump, who has also threatened to deploy the Guard to other cities, insists residents “are screaming” for intervention, though critics accuse him of politicizing the military and manufacturing a crisis.
