President Trump has the law on his side when it comes to sending National Guard troops to Chicago. The Insurrection Act of 1792 gives him sweeping powers to deploy federal troops inside the United States for law enforcement. Liberal politicians like Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson can cry all they want, but they cannot stop Trump from protecting American citizens.
Chicago desperately needs federal help to stop the crime wave destroying the city. For 13 straight years, Chicago had more murders than any other American city. Last year alone, Chicago had three times more murders than Los Angeles and five times more than New York City. These are not just numbers – these are real families torn apart by violence.
Governor Pritzker claims sending troops would be illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act. But he is wrong and he knows it. The Insurrection Act creates a clear exception that allows the president to use military forces for domestic law enforcement when needed.
Mayor Brandon Johnson held protests over Labor Day weekend chanting “No troops in Chicago.” While Johnson was playing politics in the streets, criminals were terrorizing innocent families across his city. Johnson cares more about protecting his leftist agenda than protecting the people who elected him.
The Trump administration is also ramping up ICE operations in Chicago starting this week. Border czar Tom Homan confirmed that a large contingent of federal agents will target criminal illegal aliens hiding in the sanctuary city. Chicago politicians have rolled out the red carpet for illegal criminals while law-abiding citizens suffer.
Democratic leaders in Illinois are already threatening to challenge Trump in court. They want to tie up federal law enforcement with endless lawsuits while crime runs wild in their streets. These same politicians have failed their own people for decades.
Trump successfully used federal authority in Washington D.C. and Los Angeles earlier this year. When local leaders refuse to do their jobs, the president must step in to restore order. The safety of American citizens comes before the hurt feelings of failed Democratic mayors.
The people of Chicago deserve better than the chaos and violence that liberal policies have created. President Trump is doing what these local politicians refuse to do – put public safety first. Finally, someone with backbone is willing to fight for the forgotten Americans trapped in Democrat-run disaster zones.
