Hakeem Jeffries: There‘s No Authority for Trump to Potentially Drop Federal Troops in Chicago

RUSH EXCERPT:
JEFFRIES: "Well, I strongly support the statement that was issued by governor pritzker, making clear that one, there‘s no basis, no authority for Donald Trump to potentially try to drop federal troops into the city of Chicago. There‘s been no request from the state of Illinois, no request at all for federal assistance. I support the Chicago police department. I support the New York police department. These are men and women who have taken an oath to protect and serve these communities, and they do a great job of that. And we should continue to support local law enforcement and not simply allow Donald Trump to play games with the lives of the American people. As part of his effort to manufacture a crisis and create a distraction because he‘s deeply unpopular. The one big ugly bill is deeply unpopular, ripping health care away from millions of Americans is unpopular. Enacting tax breaks for their billionaire donors is deeply unpopular, and that‘s why a lot of this is taking place. Donna."
