As the Trump administration prepares for a potential deployment of the National Guard to Chicago amid rising crime rates, local officials and residents express strong opposition. Governor JB Pritzker has alerted the public about possible federal actions and the arrival of immigration agents, while Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed executive orders to counter the proposed federal crackdown. A recent poll indicates that a majority of Americans are against sending the National Guard to major cities. With escalating rhetoric surrounding the deployment and fears of increased federal presence, Chicago is bracing for significant changes, leading to contentious debate among residents and officials alike.
