特朗普正在向更多的美国城市派遣联邦特工，新目标：芝加哥

特朗普周三宣布了一项计划，将向民主党执政的芝加哥和阿尔伯克基市派遣联邦特工，以打击暴力犯罪，继续升级他强调“法律和秩序”的政策主张。特朗普曾多次指责民主党市长和州长容忍犯罪浪潮，他宣布联邦执法部门将大量进入受暴力犯罪困扰的美国社区，“这种流血事件必须结束”。该计划包括部署联邦执法人员，协助当地警方打击司法部所声称的暴力犯罪 "激增"。芝加哥市长Lori Lightfoot和新墨西哥州州长Michelle Lujan Grisham都是民主党人，他们表示欢迎联邦的帮助，前提是这种帮助只是协助地方执法部门进行社区治安和公共安全。两人都拒绝联邦探员在俄勒冈州波特兰市抗进行的那种抗议镇压，称这种行动会遭到法律制裁。Lightfoot说，联邦执法部门与地方执法部门的合作并不罕见，但他敦促芝加哥人注意任何联邦特工，尤其是国土安全部官员 "越界 "的迹象。

乔治-弗洛伊德在明尼阿波利斯去世后，特朗普强调要采取强有力的治安和军事手段来应对全美各地有关种族不平等的抗议活动。"我们正在等待芝加哥市长(Lightfoot)以及其他市长和州长给我们打电话。我们已经准备好了，愿意并且能够以强大的力量进入城市，"特朗普在周三晚些时候告诉记者。

President Donald Trump announced a plan on Wednesday to send federal agents to the Democratic-run cities of Chicago and Albuquerque to crack down on violent crime in an escalation of his “law and order” theme heading into the final months before the presidential election. Trump, joined at a White House event by Attorney General William Barr, unveiled an expansion of the “Operation Legend” program to more cities in a further effort by federal officials to tackle violence. “Today I’m announcing a surge of federal law enforcement into American communities plagued by violent crime,” said Trump, a Republican who has accused Democratic mayors and governors of tolerating crime waves. “This bloodshed must end; this bloodshed will end,” he said. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, both Democrats, welcomed the federal help, so long as it was to assist local law enforcement with community policing and public safety. Both rejected the use of federal agents for the kind of protest crackdown seen in Portland, Oregon, saying such actions would be met with legal action. Lightfoot said it was not unusual for federal law enforcement to work alongside local partners, but urged Chicagoans to watch for any sign that federal agents, especially DHS officers, were stepping “out of line.”
Trump has emphasized a robust policing and military approach to the protests across the United States about racial inequality after Floyd’s death in Minneapolis. “We are waiting for the mayor (Lightfoot), respectfully, and other mayors and governors to call us. We are ready, willing and able to go in there with great force,” Trump told reporters later on Wednesday.  source
