President Donald Trump on Monday confirmed that he will be deploying National Guard personnel to Chicago, as well as the east coast city of Baltimore, in order to combat crime, disorder and illegal immigration.

While speaking at a press conference while flanked by senior cabinet officials in the Oval Office Tuesday, the president discarded concerns from the city’s far-left mayor’s and stated that he has an obligation to keep American citizens safe. “We’re going to do it anyway. We have the right to do it, because I have an obligation to protect this country. And that includes Baltimore. I saw where Governor Moore was asking me to take a walk down the street of Baltimore. Well, Baltimore is a very unsafe place. It’s rated number four in the [country],” Trump said.

“One of the worst — one of the most unsafe places anywhere in the world. But, you know, we took care of it. This was a beautiful thing that happened in Washington because we showed that it could be done,” he added in reference to the federal takeover of Washington D.C.

While Trump cannot take direct control of any city law enforcement assets outside the nation’s capital, he can still deploy federal agents and take control of state National Guard assets, which he has already done in California. The California deployment has already withstood a legal challenge from State Attorney General Rob Bonta, which was quickly dismissed by a federal appeals court.
