Leigh Ann Caldwell on Military Crackdown for Chicago: ‘It’s More of an Immigration Raid’ than Focusing on Crime

RUSH EXCERPT:
CALDWELL: "Well, that‘s always the question how far he‘s going to go. Doesn‘t seem like Trump is going to pull back at all. He‘s targeting blue cities. Obviously here in Washington, D.C., 90% of people voted against Trump. Los Angeles is a blue stronghold. Chicago, too. And so this also with Chicago and California you have governor Newsom, governor pritzker, potential 2020 presidential candidates as well. So this is obviously very political, but it‘s also a way for Trump to to to draw that wedge, to build that wedge on this issue of crime. Something that he ran on. But it‘s also more of an immigration raid instead of something that‘s focusing on crime."
