Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has strongly criticized former President Donald Trump\u2019s recent suggestion to deploy the National Guard to Chicago as part of a federal crime crackdown. Johnson warned that such a move would be met with resistance from the city’s residents, stating that Chicagoans are \u201caccustomed to rising up against tyranny\u201d and won\u2019t allow the city to become a \u201cmilitary-occupied state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s remarks over the weekend about targeting Chicago for enhanced law enforcement measures also drew sharp criticism from Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who labeled the proposal a \u201cmanufactured crisis.\u201d Both Johnson and Pritzker, Democrats, have publicly downplayed the severity of Chicago\u2019s crime issues, despite increasing pressure and alarming statistics.<\/p>\n

Mayor Johnson emphasized the city\u2019s values and dismissed federal involvement, arguing that federal agents \u201cdon\u2019t have police power.\u201d He cited solidarity with other Democratic leaders like Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in opposing what he called authoritarian tactics, and insisted that Chicago would respond with legal and civic action if the federal government interferes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In contrast, a White House press release<\/strong> included statistics that paint a bleak picture of crime in Chicago. For 13 consecutive years, Chicago has recorded the highest number of murders among U.S. cities, and in 2024, its murder rate per capita is several times higher than cities like Los Angeles, New York, Islamabad, and Delhi. Arrest rates remain low, and gun violence and car thefts are on the rise.<\/p>\n

Residents have also expressed frustration. From seniors shot near housing complexes to businesses hit by multiple armed robberies, many say crime feels out of control. They criticize Mayor Johnson for focusing more on political agendas than on public safety.<\/p>\n

Alderman Brian Hopkins and several residents agree: Chicago is facing a serious crime problem\u2014one that can\u2019t be solved by political denial or grandstanding alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
