Washington – Sputnik. According to the report, these incidents also resulted in 54 injuries. On Monday, CNN reported that the streets are preparing for a tightened immigration campaign by the Trump administration in the coming days. The US President had pledged on Sunday to impose federal control measures in Chicago, located in the state of Illinois, if local authorities failed to enforce order and curb crime. The next day, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker described Trump’s crime-fighting plan in Chicago as an “invasion.” On August 11th, Trump ordered the deployment of National Guard forces in Washington, D.C., citing a “public safety emergency.” He confirmed that after addressing the situation in the US capital, he would move to enforce order in other cities with high crime rates, such as New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Oakland, and Los Angeles.
