President Donald Trump’s threat to send the National Guard to Chicago has provoked a sharp response from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who says the President is “losing it.” Simultaneously, officials in Memphis report the deployment of federal law enforcement following Trump’s televised announcement.

President Trump has ordered the National Guard into Memphis, calling the move a “replica” of his Washington, D.C. crackdown on crime. Though city officials have pushed back, Trump has indicated that Chicago could be “probably next.”

Washington, D.C. currently hosts over 2,000 National Guard troops, some of whom are now armed. President Trump claims these measures are necessary to address the city’s crime, revealing the unique legal authority presidents can wield over the nation’s capital.

President Donald Trump visited police and troops deployed in the U.S. capital as part of what he calls a crackdown on crime. He noted that the forces will “stay here for a while,” suggesting an extended presence in Washington, D.C.
