美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)周一继续瞄准芝加哥，因为该市准备迎接潜在的联邦干预。
特朗普在圣经博物馆发表讲话时说:“我们很想去芝加哥把它理顺。”
周一早些时候，特朗普在他的社交媒体平台上写道，伊利诺伊州人民应该“团结起来，要求保护”他所说的芝加哥犯罪问题，尽管警方数据显示，今年的谋杀和枪击案与去年相比有所下降。
“我想帮助芝加哥人民，而不是伤害他们。只有罪犯会受到伤害!我们可以快速行动，阻止这种疯狂，”特朗普在帖子中写道。
评论出现在唇枪舌剑在特朗普和伊利诺伊州领导人周末发表一篇有争议的帖子后，总统提到了新更名的战争部。
“芝加哥即将发现它为什么被称为战争部，”特朗普周六在一篇帖子中写道，其中包括一张经过处理的图像和一段标题，“我喜欢早上驱逐出境的味道”，这是对战争电影《现代启示录》(Apocalypse Now)中经常被引用的台词“我喜欢早上凝固汽油弹的味道”的认可
特朗普后来淡化了这一威胁，周日告诉记者:“我们不会开战。我们要清理我们的城市。”
伊利诺伊州的民主党领导人抨击了特朗普的言论，周六，芝加哥各地爆发了抗议活动，反对总统增加移民执法和派遣国民警卫队的威胁。
伊利诺伊州州长JB Pritzker周一在X上写道:“‘我想帮助人们，而不是伤害他们’，这个家伙刚刚用战争部威胁了一个美国城市。
尽管特朗普周一表示，他希望“修复”芝加哥，但他也暗示，如果没有州和地方官员的请求，他的政府可能不会出兵，称他的政府“正在等待芝加哥的电话”。
“我不知道为什么芝加哥不打电话给我们，说，请给我们帮助，当你在短短的一段时间里，已经发生了50起谋杀和数百人被枪杀。然后你会有一个州长站出来说犯罪是好的。这真的很疯狂，但我们正在让我们的国家恢复法律和秩序，”特朗普说。
普利兹克已经明确表示，他不会提出这样的要求，他上周告诉记者:“我们什么时候变成了一个国家，美国总统可以在国家电视台上坚持说，一个国家应该打电话给他乞求任何东西，特别是我们不想要的东西?”
同时，移居美国国土安全部(Department of Homeland Security)在x上发表的一篇文章中说，海关执法局(ICE)周一发起了一项名为“中途闪电战”(Midway Blitz)的扩大行动，该行动将“针对涌入芝加哥和伊利诺伊州的非法犯罪外国人，因为他们知道普利兹克州长和他的庇护政策会保护他们，并允许他们在美国街道上自由漫步。”
特朗普的边境沙皇汤姆·霍曼(Tom Homan)周一似乎淡化了特朗普的威胁，拒绝透露警卫队将于何时部署到芝加哥，或者是否会部署，但它“一直在讨论中”。
“如果真的发生了，我们可能不会给你任何提示……我们不会公布我们正在做的事情，”霍曼说。
特朗普吹捧他的政府对华盛顿的联邦接管，周一建议在美国其他城市也这样做。
“我们可以在芝加哥、纽约，洛杉矶”，特朗普在圣经博物馆的讲话中说。
“我们拯救了洛杉矶，我们拯救了洛杉矶，”他说。
最近裁定在加利福尼亚市使用联邦军队是非法的。
纽约警察局长杰西卡·蒂施周一早些时候表示，她对国民警卫队在大城市街道上的存在感到“反感”。
“作为一个终身的纽约人，我对我们街道军事化的想法感到厌恶，”Tisch在公民预算委员会的早餐会上说。“我会非常明确地告诉任何人，你们所有人，司法部长，任何想和我谈这件事的人，NYPD，我们已经得到了这个。我们不需要也不想要联邦政府在这方面的帮助。”
'We'd love to go into Chicago,' Trump says after controversy over 'war' meme
President Donald Trump on Monday continued to take aim at Chicago as the city braces for potential federal intervention.
"We'd love to go into Chicago and straighten it out," Trump said as he delivered remarks at the Museum of the Bible.
Earlier Monday, Trump wrote on his social media platform that the people of Illinois should "band together and DEMAND PROTECTION" from what he has said is a crime problem in Chicago, despite police data showing murders and shootings down this year compared to last.
"I want to help the people of Chicago, not hurt them. Only the Criminals will be hurt! We can move fast and stop this madness," Trump wrote in the post.
The comments come after awar of wordsover the weekend between Trump and Illinois leaders following a controversial post from the president referencing the newly rebranded Department of War.
"Chicago is about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR," Trump wrote in a post on Saturday that included a manipulated image and a caption reading, "I love the smell of deportations in the morning," a nod to the often-quoted line "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" from the war film "Apocalypse Now."
Trump later downplayed the threat, telling reporters on Sunday: "We're not going to war. We're going to clean up our cities."
Democratic leaders in Illinois slammed Trump's rhetoric, and protests unfolded throughout Chicago on Saturday against the president's threat to increase immigration enforcement and dispatch National Guard troops.
"'I want to help people, not hurt them,' says the guy who just threatened an American city with the Department of War," Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker wrote on X on Monday.
While Trump on Monday said that he wanted to "fix" Chicago, he also signaled his administration may not send in troops without a request from state and local officials, saying his administration is "waiting for a call from Chicago."
"I don't know why Chicago isn't calling us, saying, please give us help when you have over just a short period of time, 50 murders and hundreds of people shot. And then you have a governor that stands up and says how crime is just fine. It's, it's really crazy, but we're bringing back law and order to our country," Trump said.
Pritzker has made clear he will not be making such a request, telling reporters last week: "When did we become a country where it's okay for the U.S. president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want?"
Meanwhile,Immigrationand Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Monday launched an expanded operation dubbed "Midway Blitz," that will "target the criminal illegal aliens who flocked to Chicago and Illinois because they knew Governor Pritzker and his sanctuary policies would protect them and allow them to roam free on American streets," the Department of Homeland Security said in a post on X.
Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, appeared on Monday to downplay Trump's threat, declining to say when the Guard would be deployed to Chicago or if it would but that it's "always on the table."
“We probably won’t give you a heads up if it’s happening … We’re not going to broadcast what we’re doing,” Homan said.
Trump, touting his administration's federal takeover of Washington, suggested on Monday the same be done in other American cities.
"We could do the same thing in Chicago, New York,Los Angeles," Trump said in his remarks at the Museum of the Bible.
"We saved Los Angeles, we saved Los Angeles," he said.
The Trump administration deployed thousands of National Guard troops to Los Angeles in June, over the protests of Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. A federal judgerecently ruledthe use of federal troops in the California city was illegal.
New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch earlier Monday said she is "revolted" by the presence of the National Guard on big city streets.
"As a lifelong New Yorker, I am revolted by the idea of the militarization of our streets," Tisch said during a breakfast at the Citizens Budget Commission. "I will be very clear with anybody, all of you, the attorney general, anyone who wants to talk to me about this that the NYPD, we've got this. We don't need or want the federal government's help here in that way."
