This would mark Trump&#8217;s first proposal to send troops to a red state,following his militarization of Washington,D.C.&#8217;s police force. Trump mentioned evaluating whether to send troops to Chicago or New Orleans, praising Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry&#8217;s support for federal intervention to combat escalating crime. Louisiana currently has several cities with some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-larry-hogan-aligned-group-launches-new-refund-police-ad-campaign-against-democrat-pushback\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: Larry Hogan-Aligned Group Launches New \u2018Refund Police\u2019 Ad Campaign Against Democrat Pushback\">highest murder rates<\/a> in the country, including Shreveport. Trump suggested that federal troops could &#8220;straighten out&#8221; crime issues in New Orleans within two weeks, similar to efforts undertaken in Washington, D.C. He also criticized Democratic city and state leaders, such as Chicago&#8217;s Governor JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson, for their handling of crime, although Pritzker opposes national Guard deployment while remaining open to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/father-of-alleged-sexual-assault-victim-demands-apology-from-nsba\/\" title=\"Father Of Alleged Sexual Assault Victim Demands Apology From NSBA\">federal law enforcement assistance<\/a>.

But I&rsquo;ll tell you who is supporting us &mdash; the people of Chicago.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Pritzker told CBS News over the weekend that he would not accept National Guard forces in Chicago but was open to support from federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the Drug Enforcement Administration.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s clear that, in secret, they&rsquo;re planning this &mdash; well, it&rsquo;s an invasion with U.S. troops, if they, in fact, do that,&rdquo; Pritzker said about an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >expected illegal immigration crackdown<\/a> in Chicago on Friday.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3778636\/trump-says-chicago-probably-next-washington-takeover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TRUMP SAYS CHICAGO IS &lsquo;PROBABLY&rsquo; NEXT AFTER WASHINGTON, D.C., TAKEOVER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, Trump said the success in lowering the district&rsquo;s crime rate could be replicated in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We have a great thing going,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I could do that with Chicago.
