Trump says Chicago crime has fallen dramatically despite 'extraordinary resistance' from local Democrats

President Trump announced a significant decrease in crime rates in Chicago, citing a 35% drop in shootings and a 41% reduction in robberies during the federal initiative known as 'Operation Midway Blitz,' which targets illegal immigrants. He attributed these improvements to the operation despite what he described as 'extraordinary resistance' from local Democrats. This claim highlights the ongoing debate over crime management and immigration policies in urban areas, as well as the political tensions between federal and local authorities.
