U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago, Illinois, to ensure the safety of federal agents and protect government property.
The announcement was made by White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports.
According to her, the decision was made “against the backdrop of ongoing unrest and lawlessness,” which, in the administration’s view, local authorities have failed to curb. Jackson specifically mentioned Illinois Governor J. Robert Pritzker, a member of the Democratic Party.
“President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities,” Jackson stated.
