The piece highlights Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker’s resistance to Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in chicago, despite the city’s severe gang-related homicide problem.Doescher argues that Chicago’s high crime rate, especially among minority victims, justifies federal intervention. Chicago’s aggravated homicide rate is currently at a five-year high, with a disproportionate impact on black communities.
The article also references criticism of Pritzker’s broad rejection of federal assistance,suggesting Chicago has areas with differing crime realities. Simultaneously occurring, Chicago Mayor Brandon johnson blames “red states” for supplying illegal guns to Chicago and calls for federal help in stemming gun trafficking rather than more law enforcement or National Guard presence.
the article illustrates a divide between city leaders’ reluctance and advocates like doescher who believe federal involvement is crucial for reducing violent crime in major cities.
Cities resisting Trump’s help against crime ‘need it the most’: Tiana Doescher
The Washington Examiner‘s Tiana Lowe Doescher said on Wednesday that President Donald Trump‘s crime cleanup should expand outside Washington, D.C., adding that she feels “so much safer” as a previous victim of violent crime.
Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) said Tuesday that he believes Chicago will be the next major city where Trump will deploy the National Guard. Doescher said 1 in 5 homicides in Chicago are suspected of gang association, giving Trump the “legal muster” to send in federal law enforcement.
Doescher also said minority residents are “disproportionately” the victims of crime in Chicago, saying 3 in 5 aggravated homicide victims are black. She added that Chicago’s aggravated homicide rate is at a “five-year high.”
“And look, I live in ground zero of Trump’s actions here, right? I live in northern Virginia, but I take the subway into Washington, D.C., every single day, and I tell you it’s been a sea change. No homicides in almost two weeks,” Doescher said on Fox Business’s Mornings with Maria Bartiromo.
“I feel so much safer, and as a previous victim of a violent crime in D.C., I just hope Trump keeps this going on to any state or city that fights it because those are the ones that need it the most,” Doescher said.
TRUMP SEES CRIME CRACKDOWN AS THE ISSUE TO BLOW UP BLUE-CITY DEMOCRATIC COALITION
The Washington Examiner‘s Salena Zito criticized Pritzker’s resistance to accepting Trump’s help in Chicago, saying there are “two sides” to the city. She said crime is “a really big problem” for one of those sides, adding that it’s “insulting” for the governor to make a “blanket statement” for the entire city.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said “red states” are playing a role in “the endless flow of illegal guns” into the city, listing Louisiana, Mississippi, and Indiana as examples. He asked the federal government to help the city address this instead of deploying more law enforcement officers or the National Guard.
