Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Sunday called Chicago "a war zone," defending the Trump administration's deployment of federal forces to the city after a weekend confrontation between agents and local residents left one woman injured and multiple people arrested.
Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Noem criticized Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who has opposed the administration's immigration raids and deployment of the National Guard. "It's wrong," Noem said. "There should be consequences for leaders who knowingly lie about the situation on the ground. His city is a war zone, and he's lying so that criminals can go in there and destroy people's lives."
