Last week, Trump suggested his administration could target Chicago next for a federal crackdown against crime. But when pressed on Monday, he hedged, saying he may or may not send in federal troops to Chicago. And I think until I get that request from that guy, I’m not going to do anything about it.”The National Guard has been deployed to enforce the law before. The National Guard has been deployed many times historically. It’s unconstitutional.”Johnson said his office has not heard about a potential deployment directly from the White House.
