Psaki noted the Justice Department has been actively working to control Chicago\u2019s gun problem along with helping local elected officials, which she said benefited from Biden\u2019s American Rescue Plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen there\u2019s been rise in crime rates across the country including Chicago for 18 months or more, that unfortunately is not going to turn on a dime.,\u201d she stated. \u201cWe are working with Chicago. Its one of the five cities we\u2019re working with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Psaki went on to say she hoped federal and local governments would work in partnership to bring the crime wave down. This comes almost a year after the city voted to cut the police budget by more than $59 million.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here\u2019s what liberal mayors are spending on private security for protection from their own crime-wrecked cities:<\/p>\n<p>\u274cChicago Mayor: $3.4 million<\/p>\n<p>\u274cSan Francisco Mayor: $2.6 million<\/p>\n<p>\u274cBaltimore Mayor: $3.6 million<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ll defund the police for you but not for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Congressman Greg Steube (@RepGregSteube) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepGregSteube\/status\/1419758925990219779?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 26, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/cuomo-i-told-you-the-truth-about-covid\/\">Cuomo: \u2018I Told You The Truth\u2019 About COVID<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Law enforcement officers investigate a crime scene near the border between the Morgan Park and West Pullman neighborhoods on July 7, 2021 in Chicago, Illinois.
