President Donald Trump announced plans to deploy the National Guard to Chicago following a violent Labor Day weekend that left dozens injured and several dead. Declaring “We’re going in,” Trump framed the move as a necessary intervention to restore order. The announcement drew sharp criticism from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who called the deployment unconstitutional and politically motivated. Johnson also pointed to the root causes of gun violence, blaming the influx of illegal firearms from Republican-led states like Mississippi, Indiana, and Louisiana. “Chicago will continue to have a violence problem as long as red states continue to have a gun problem,” Johnson said, urging federal action to stop interstate gun trafficking. Legal experts warn the deployment could face court challenges, while supporters argue it’s a needed step to protect Chicago’s communities
