For the first time ever since taking the office, President Donald Trump, has tweeted about Chicago violence. Trump said that, if the “horrible carnage” is not fixed. “I will send in the Feds.”

About the shootings in early January, he tweeted saying, at the time as President-elect: “If Mayor can’t do it he must ask for Federal help.”

“If Chicago doesn’t fix the horrible ‘carnage’ going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings, I will send in the Feds,” on 24th Jan, 2017, Tuesday night, Trump wrote.

There have been 38 homicides, and 182 shootings in the city, so far in 2017, as Chicago Police Department told to CNN.

India true friend, Donald Trump

Previously, Trump has encouraged Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, to ask for federal assistance. Emanuel did not addressed the Trump tweets or spoken about the violence.

Mayor Emanuel, has specified the areas, where he would like to take the federal government’s help.

In a interview with WTTW, Emanuel said, he wants tougher sentences for repeat offenders.

In a statement obtained by CNN, Chicago Police Superintendent, Eddie Johnson, pointed at the Mayor’s comments.

Johnson said, “the Chicago Police Department is more than willing to work with the federal government to build on our partnerships with DOJ, FBI, DEA and ATF and boost federal prosecution rates for gun crimes in Chicago.”

While on the campaign trail, Trump would mention Chicago, suggesting that, controversial and possibly unconstitutional tactics, such as stop-and-frisk could help to address the issue.
