I didn\u2019t say when. We\u2019re going in,\u201d Trump said at the White House on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChicago is a hellhole right now, Baltimore is a hellhole right now,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chicago ranks 13th in total crime rates for American cities with populations of at least 250,000, with Memphis, Cleveland and St. Louis plagued with the highest total crime rates, according to FBI crime data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even as Chicago\u2019s crimes rates are down across the board this year, dozens of people were shot and at least seven people were killed in the city in a surge of violence over the Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city\u2019s leaders and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker have said they do not want U.S. troops to assist in the city. Pritzker said Sunday such a move would be an \u201cinvasion,\u201d and added that the Trump administration has not communicated any plans to his office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNational Guard troops are not trained to do local law enforcement, but FBI agents, DEA agents, ATF agents are trained to fight crime, and they have collaborated with local law enforcement. So I would prefer more resources on that, [rather] than sending the military illegally into the streets of American cities against American citizens,\u201d Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul told CNN on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The news comes hours after a federal judge in California determined that the president illegally violated the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/veterans\/military-history\/2025\/06\/18\/the-history-of-presidents-activating-us-troops-on-american-soil\/\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/veterans\/military-history\/2025\/06\/18\/the-history-of-presidents-activating-us-troops-on-american-soil\/\">Posse Comitatus Act<\/a>, which limits the power of the federal government to use military force for domestic matters, when he deployed 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe judge ruled that the president failed to show there was a rebellion or inability of civil authorities to respond to the demonstrations, which is the requirement in federal law to use troops over the objections of the governor. Accordingly, he will have the same issue should he try to do this in Chicago, and likely the same result,\u201d retired Maj. Gen. William Enyart, a former Congressman who also served as the 37th Adjutant General for the Illinois National Guard, told Military Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly called Breyer \u201ca rogue judge\u201d trying to \u201cusurp the authority of the Commander-in-Chief\u201d and vowed to fight the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guard deployment in DC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 2,200 National Guard troops are deployed in Washington, D.C., where crimes were already on the decline prior to their deployment, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/08\/29\/trumps-push-for-more-troops-in-us-cities-at-odds-with-crime-stats\/\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/08\/29\/trumps-push-for-more-troops-in-us-cities-at-odds-with-crime-stats\/\">according to FBI crime data<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the deployment, crime has continued to decrease with the administration surge of federal resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mpdc.dc.gov\/dailycrime\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/mpdc.dc.gov\/dailycrime\">Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department<\/a> data showed that 20-year homicide trends last year were at their lowest point since the 2020 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Homicide rates in 2024 were 68% lower than the record highs of the 1990s, from about 80 homicides per 100,000 residents to about 25 homicides per 100,000 residents, FBI crime data shows. But those rates last year were almost twice as high as in 2012, when the nation\u2019s capital experienced a 50-year low in the number of homicides per capita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Trump has accused D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser of providing \u201chighly inaccurate crime figures\u201d by stating that total violent crime in the capital was at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-dc\/pr\/violent-crime-dc-hits-30-year-low\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-dc\/pr\/violent-crime-dc-hits-30-year-low\">30-year low<\/a>. The Justice Department has launched an investigation into whether the Metropolitan Police Department has falsified its data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president has claimed that crime in D.C. was the \u201cworst ever\u201d and that it had been \u201cmany years\u201d since the city had a murder-free stretch of even a week. Neither statement is supported by data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Tuesday, the president praised how much he felt that D.C. had changed since his deployment of federal law enforcement and National Guard troops, saying, \u201cYou can walk right down the street even by yourself, and you\u2019re totally safe. Washington, D.C., is great.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump says he will deploy the National Guard to Chicago to help with crime in the
