Mark R. Levin@marklevinshowKudos President Trump! The president wants to protect the people even though the Democrats do not! And these are Democrat cities that are expected to vote Democrat.

John Smith @JSmithpolitics1These Chicago gang members won't know what hit them when they get hit with those fed charges. The conviction rate is so high, and there's rarely early release. On top of that, the federal death penalty has been reinstated.4:42 PM · Jul 22, 2020·Twitter Web Apphttps://twitter.com/JSmithpolitics1/status/1286038965355556866
Trump announces he's sending federal agents to ChicagoThe Hill, Jul 22, 2020President Trump said Wednesday his administration is sending federal law enforcement officers into Chicago and Albuquerque, expanding his controversial crackdown on what he claims is an unchecked surge of violence in Democratically-run cities."Today I am announcing a surge of federal law enforcement into American communities plagued by violent crime,†Trump said in remarks from the East Room of the White House.He added he had “no choice but to get involved."Trump said the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Marshals Service and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would all send agents to Chicago.Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) has urged Trump not to send federal agents into the city, imploring the White House to instead focus on initiatives to curb gun violence that has long plagued the city.“In the end, we very much want to partner with an executive branch that respects our city, inclusive of all our residents,†Lightfoot wrote in a letter to Trump earlier this week. “Partnership includes respect that you have not shown our residents as of late in mocking the level of violence that challenges Chicagoans.â€More: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/508566-trump-announces-hes-sending-federal-agents-to-chicago
Donald Trump will order FBI and DEA surge in Chicago and Albuquerque to tackle violence as mayor Lori Lightfoot says 'under NO circumstances' will she allow Portland-style crackdownDaily Mail/UK, Jul 22, 2020Donald Trump is set to escalate his federal intervention in cities Wednesday by expanding 'Operation Legend,' deploying FBI and other agents to Chicago and Albuquerque to quell what he claims is out of control violence. The move was to be announced Wednesday afternoon by Trump at the White House - putting him once again at odds with Democratic mayors, especially Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot. They have opposed deploying federal forces to tackle protests. But Operation Legend, which was started in Kansas City, MO, involves surging Department of Justice, not Department of Homeland Security, agents to tackle crime rather then protests.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8548867/Chicago-mayor-says-Donald-Trump-WONT-send-Portland-style-150-strong-federal-force.html
