President 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.
