So, in Chicago, yes, there\u2019s federal agents there, and they\u2019re working cases, and they\u2019re doing great work,\u201d Mr. Blanche said during an interview on Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut when there\u2019s not a partnership with local leadership, it\u2019s not the cops on the ground,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Blanche said it is always more effective when local leadership encourages the federal government to come in and help with crime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen that happened in D.C., as you just showed, it worked. We did it in Memphis and it worked,\u201d he said, adding that it is shocking that Chicago\u2019s leaders refuse help from the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=2594\">Trump-endorsed de la Espriella holds slim lead in Colombia\u2019s election as rival challenges vote<\/a><\/p>\n<p>President Trump\u2019s top cop made the remarks following a bloody weekend in Chicago where at least eight people died, including teens, and dozens more were wounded by gunfire.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump reacted to the violence, calling out Illinois Democratic Gov.

D.C. went from one of the worst to one of the safest cities in the country,\u201d he said, referencing the 800 National Guard troops he deployed to the District of Columbia last year.<\/p>\n<p>He placed the city\u2019s police department under emergency federal control in an unprecedented move to combat crime in the nation\u2019s capital and remove homeless encampments.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Pritzker has said federal intervention was not needed when the city faced other periods of street violence in the past.
