Chicago residents are calling for more police help as crime continues to affect their neighborhoods. Many locals say the violence has gotten worse over the years. The Trump administration is now thinking about sending National Guard troops to help fight crime in the city.
Illinois officials dealt with a deadly Labor Day weekend as 32 separate shootings happened in Chicago. At least seven people were killed and 37 others were hurt. The weekend violence came as President Donald Trump renewed threats to send federal agents and National Guard troops to Chicago. This happened even though Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson don’t want federal troops in their city.
