Trump's Troop Deployment: Tension in Chicago

President Donald Trump announced plans on Tuesday to deploy U.S. National Guard troops to Chicago to combat crime, though he did not specify when they would arrive.

Despite Mayor Brandon Johnson's firm stance against collaborating with federal agents, Trump insists on a federal intervention, citing the need to reduce crime rates.

The move has drawn criticism and raised questions about the legal authority for such a deployment, especially as local crime rates reportedly decline.
