President Trump just made it clear: the days of letting Democrat-run cities spiral into chaos without consequence are over. Speaking from the Oval Office on Friday, the president announced a major expansion of his administration’s federal crackdown on violent crime, this time setting his sights on cities like Chicago and potentially New York.
This announcement follows the wildly successful federal intervention in Washington, D.C., where Trump invoked Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act earlier this month. That move allowed him to take direct control of law enforcement in the nation’s capital, deploying hundreds of National Guard troops and federal agents to combat a crime wave that had spiraled out of control.
And guess what? It worked. Since the federal takeover, D.C. has seen eight straight days without a single homicide. Carjackings have dropped a staggering 83 percent, and robberies are down 43 percent. These aren’t vague statistics or political talking points. These are measurable results that every resident can feel.
Now, the president is expanding that mission. While the Home Rule Act only applies to D.C., Trump made it clear that he can and will send in federal assets to assist in cleaning up other blue cities. California’s already seen the impact, with the state’s National Guard federalized and U.S. Marines assisting with deportation operations. The model is in place, and the president is ready to take it nationwide.
Chicago is next. “Chicago’s a mess,” Trump told reporters. He didn’t mince words, calling Mayor Brandon Johnson “grossly incompetent” and promising swift action. “We’re going to make our cities very, very safe,” he said. And he’s not just relying on statistics — he says the people of Chicago are calling for him to come. “African-American ladies, beautiful ladies, are saying, ‘please, President Trump, come to Chicago,’” he added, noting the growing support for his policies even in deep-blue areas.
Trump also took aim at New York City and its far-left mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, who has openly pledged to obstruct federal immigration law. The president made it clear that kind of resistance won’t fly, suggesting NYC could soon join the list of cities receiving federal intervention.
It’s a clear message: under President Trump, law and order is not optional. The Left had their chance. They failed. Now it’s time for the grown-ups to take back control.
