‘War zone’ characterizes the Chicago The Minister of Internal Affairs in his government Donald TrumpChristie Noem. Indeed, Noem claimed that “the protesters are paid by cartels and gangs”.
Justifying the development of an army in Chicago, controlled by Democrats, Donald Trump’s Minister Christie Noem said on Sunday (05.10.2025): “It is a war zone. The city is a war zone and lies that criminals can get there and destroy the lives of people, “referring to the Democratic Mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, who earlier spoke of” unconstitutional measures “.
The Minister of Interior claimed that gangs, cartels and “other well -known terrorist organizations” give money to those who are protesting against ICE.
On Saturday (04.10.2025), Trump signed an executive decree for the development of 300 ethnicity in Chicago with the aim of “protecting federal agents and public property”. The Democratic Opposition strongly criticized the White House, with Senator Dick Derbin complaining that “the president does not seek to fight crime but to sow fear”.
“They turn the city into a war zone,” said Illinoi’s ruler J. B. Prichker speaking to CNN, where he described the successive raids and called for the army to leave.
Chicago is the fifth city where Trump develops the National Guard, an extremely unusual measure to date. Los Angeles, Washington and Memphis had preceded, despite the reactions of local authorities. In Portland, a federal judge temporarily banned army development, on the grounds that protests do not involve “risk of revolution” and “regular security forces” can manage them.
