Washington — President Trump on Friday said Chicago will probably be the federal government's next target for its anti-crime effort, following the ongoing operation in Washington, D.C., with New York City after that.

Trump has taken aim at Chicago for over a decade, including on the 2024 and 2016 presidential campaign trails. He has repeatedly compared the city to Afghanistan and, in 2017, threatened to “send in the feds” due to gun violence in the city, despite historic declines in violent crime in recent years.
