The Pentagon is working on plans to deploy the U.S. military to Chicago as part of President Donald Trump's vow to crack down on crime, homelessness and immigration.
Trump indicated that the Midwestern city could receive the same treatment as Washington, D.C., where he's deployed 2,000 troops on the streets.
The Pentagon on Friday began ordering troops in Washington to carry firearms despite no overt indications they are under threat.
Trump has repeatedly described some of the nation's largest cities, which are run by Democrats, as dangerous and filthy. He singled out Chicago on Friday, calling it a "mess."
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says he has grave concerns about the impact of any unlawful deployment of National Guard troops.
U.S. Senator. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate's No. 2 Democrat, called Trump's Washington, D.C. strategy "political theatre."
