(CBS) — Newly sworn President Donald Trump warned Tuesday he would send in “the Feds” if the city of Chicago cannot reverse its recent surge in violence.
“If Chicago doesn’t fix the horrible ‘carnage’ going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!” Trump said on his Twitter account Tuesday evening.
Republican Trump threw jabs at Chicago during the presidential campaign, saying the city is an example of failed urban policies. The city is run by Democratic Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who has defied Trump on immigration issues.
No immediate response from City Hall or the Chicago Police Department.
