US President Donald Trump approved sending 300 National Guard personnel to Chicago to control the crime rate. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
He emphasized that the city's security had deteriorated and that this decision was made following clashes between immigration officers and protesters. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker called this action an abuse of power and stated that the president does not have the right to send military forces without the state's consent.
A similar decision was temporarily halted in Oregon. The White House explained this measure as necessary to protect federal employees and government property.
Trump stated that his goal was to restore peace amid the unrest. Currently, there is no confirmed information about the arrival of National Guard personnel in the city.
Experts emphasize that this decision could intensify political disputes in Chicago. This event is likely to impact the country's internal security and political environment.
