Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Federal troops are bound to enter Chicago to thwart an epidemic of violence in the Windy City, President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday.
Media had gathered for the president's announcement regarding moving U.S. Space Command headquarters to Alabama, but a reporter asked if the president still intends to send troops to Chicago.
"We're going in," Trump responded. "I didn't say when, but we're going in."
He cited recent murder and shooting statistics in the Windy City as evidence of the need for federal intervention.
