CHICAGO ~ Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has responded to President Trump's recent threats to deploy the National Guard to the city, stating that while they take his statements seriously, they have not received any formal communication from the Trump administration regarding this matter.
In a statement issued by Mayor Johnson, he expressed grave concerns about the potential impact of an unlawful deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago. He criticized the President's approach as being uncoordinated, uncalled for, and unsound.
The mayor emphasized that deploying the National Guard without proper coordination and communication could further inflame tensions between residents and law enforcement. He stressed that trust between police and residents is crucial in building safer communities.
Furthermore, Mayor Johnson stated that an unlawful deployment would be unsustainable and could potentially undermine the progress made in reducing crime in Chicago. In the past year alone, homicides have decreased by over 30%, robberies by 35%, and shootings by almost 40%.

The mayor also highlighted that investing in housing, community safety, and education is essential for creating safer communities. He pointed out that sending in the National Guard will not solve issues such as the housing crisis or hunger among children in Chicago.
Mayor Johnson made it clear that the National Guard is not a substitute for dedicated local law enforcement and community violence interrupters who know and serve their communities every day. He urged the federal government to consider other ways to help reduce crime and violence in Chicago instead of sending in military forces.
In conclusion, Mayor Johnson emphasized that while they are open to working with the federal government on addressing crime in Chicago, deploying the National Guard is not a viable solution. He urged for continued investment in what has been proven to work – housing, community safety, and education.
