The newspaper stated: “The Pentagon has been planning for weeks to deploy military forces in Chicago, as part of President Donald Trump’s efforts to curb crime, homelessness, and illegal immigrants. The plan includes several options, including the mobilization of at least several thousand National Guard members. The use of active-duty forces is also being discussed.” Last week, the White House announced several measures to combat crime in Washington. An American military official confirmed to Sputnik on Friday that the National Guard will be armed to restore order.
