Just one day after President Trump confirmed that Chicago is next on his list of crime-infested cities to clean up, the Pentagon is reportedly preparing to send in the National Guard!
According to a report from The Washington Post, the Pentagon has been planning to deploy the National Guard to Chicago for weeks.
It could happen as soon as next month.
Here’s what’s being reported:
#BREAKING: The U.S. Pentagon is preparing to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago, Illinois, as part of a sweeping effort to address rising crime, homelessness, and undocumented immigration.

Now, keep in mind this is all coming from The Washington Post, which doesn’t exactly have a phenomenal track record when it comes to reporting the truth.
As always with these types of reports, you should take it with a grain of salt.
However, President Trump has signaled multiple times that he will deploy the National Guard to Chicago, like he did with D.C., in order to crackdown on the rampant crime and homelessness plaguing the city.
The original Washington Post report reads:
The Pentagon has for weeks been planning a military deployment to Chicago as President Donald Trump says he wants to crack down on crime, homelessness and undocumented immigration, in a model that could later be used in other major cities, officials familiar with the matter said.
The Pentagon responded to the report, neither confirming or denying whether it’s true or not.
Reuters has more:
The Defense Department planning, in the works for weeks, involves several options, including mobilizing at least a few thousand members of the National Guard as soon as September, the Post reported, citing officials familiar with the matter.
“Chicago is a mess,” Trump, a Republican, told reporters on Friday, deriding its mayor as he continued his attacks on cities run by Democratic politicians. “And we’ll straighten that one out probably next.”
The Pentagon said in a statement late on Saturday: “We won’t speculate on further operations. The department is a planning organization and is continuously working with other agency partners on plans to protect federal assets and personnel.”
Democrat Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker already seems very triggered by the reports of President Trump potentially deploying the National Guard to Chicago in the coming weeks.
In a statement released in response to the report, Gov. Pritzker accused President Trump of “attempting to manufacture a crisis” and claimed “there is no emergency” happening in Chicago.

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority.
There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the @IL_Natl_Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.

Donald Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he’s causing families.
We’ll continue to follow the law, stand up for the sovereignty of our state, and protect Illinoisans.

Really, Gov. Pritzker?
If Chicago is really such a safe place and there is no crisis happening, then why are residents begging President Trump to take over the city and fix things?
Here’s just one example of that:
Thank you @realDonaldTrump for listening to @FlipChicagoRed. We truly appreciate everything you’re doing to Make America Great Again. P.S.-Please send in the Feds too!@FoxNews@PressSec pic.twitter.com/rVGmFY0aRC

Gov. Pritzker, if and when the National Guard is deployed to help clean up Chicago, do the right thing for once and comply.
If, the “safety of the people of Illinois” is truly your top priority, then it’s time to prioritize your citizens’ safety over your own ego.
