Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot delivered a scathing denunciation of President Trump's plan to deploy the National Guard in her city, calling it "uncoordinated, uncalled for, unsound" and the "most flagrant violation of our Constitution." The Mayor's comments came in response to Trump's proposal to send federal law enforcement agents into Chicago in an effort to combat violence in the city.

"I will not allow Donald Trump's troops to come to Chicago and terrorize our residents," Mayor Lightfoot said. "This is an authoritarian tactic that has no place in our democracy." The Mayor's comments were echoed by Brandon Johnson, a Cook County commissioner, who accused Trump of trying to distract from his administration's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Mayor's strong stance against Trump's plan has received support from other local leaders as well, with many expressing concern over the potential for further escalation of violence in the city. Despite the pushback from Mayor Lightfoot and others, Trump has remained steadfast in his commitment to deploying federal agents in Chicago. The situation continues to escalate, with tensions rising between the city and the White House.
