President Trump said on Friday that he planned to target Chicago and New York for his next federal crackdown on crime, suggesting he was willing to use active-duty troops on city streets.

President Donald Trump said he’s preparing to expand federal deployments of the National Guard beyond Washington, D.C., with Chicago and New York among the cities under review.

"We should continue to support local law enforcement and not simply allow Donald Trump to play games with the lives of the American people," he said.
