President Trump said Wednesday his administration is sending federal law enforcement officers into Chicago and Albuquerque, expanding his controversial crackdown on what he claims is an unchecked surge of violence in Democratically-run cities.

"Today I am announcing a surge of federal law enforcement into American communities plagued by violent crime,” Trump said in remarks from the East Room of the White House.

He added he had “no choice but to get involved."

Trump said the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Marshals Service and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would all send agents to Chicago.

For once in my life I’m rooting for the ATF to get involved. They should be paying the Chicago PD to drop dimes every single time they find a felon in possession of a firearm. ATF should instantly file Federal charges and make them stick.

Send these feral animals to Club Fed for 5 years of hard time. This would take it out of the hands of Foxx entirely.

She actually did a 180 and said she was open to fed assistance....too bad a lot of people had to die uselessly before she decided to do the right thing.

Because of the extremely low conviction rate for even the most heinous crimes in Chicago (even though many convicted persons apparently aren’t actually guilty), I wonder whether many of these gangsters are legally felons, rather than just persons repeatedly committing felonies with impunity until some other gangster shoots them.

Fish Face, aka Lori Leadfoot, is crapping her jock strap with rage and loathing this afternoon.

She won’t instruct the PD to fight the rioters and lawlessness, but she will instruct them to resist the Feds.

Mrs. O’Leary’s cow has got the popcorn out, ready for another hot time in Chicago.

And of course, what that idiot Mayor’s name? Oh yeah, Loco Lightweight. She doesn’t want the Feds for fear they’ll terrorize the residents because we all they’re not already being terrorized.

Liberalism is a bad sickness.

expanding his controversial crackdown

So, sending federal agents into a city where 49 police officers were injured while protecting a statue of Columbus from a raging, criminal mob, is “controversial”? Really?

What she really wants is the cash; physical assets, not so much.

It isn’t at all controversial, unless you support the lawlessness

If this country is going to have any future, Chicago can’t become Minneapolis.

Back in the 1990s Bill Clinton actually started enforcing federal gun laws. Felons who committed a crime with a gun was given a 5 year federal sentence and when he was done with that he served his state sentence for whatever crime he committed. Believe it or not, crime dropped significantly. I believe the program started in Richmond following a tidal wave of crime.

What about Portland?
