Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has sharply criticized President Donald Trump’s renewed vow to send the National Guard to Chicago, suggesting the president may be “losing it.” After a month of repeated back-and-forth threats, the governor’s remarks reflect a deepening political rift over federal involvement in local matters.

Over Labor Day weekend, Chicago recorded 54 shootings resulting in seven deaths, sparking alarm across the city. As Governor Pritzker and President Trump debate the need for the National Guard, local communities are left grappling with this surge in violence.
