On Thursday President Donald Trump called out Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker for Chicago’s massive crime problem. The President hinted at potential action on his part with the words “stay tuned” in his post.
Governor Pritzker had 6 murders in Chicago this weekend. 20 people were shot. But he doesn’t want to ask me for help. Can this be possible? The people are desperate for me to STOP THE CRIME, something the Democrats aren’t capable of doing. STAY TUNED!!! President DJT
City Data shows that Chicago, Illinois has an extremely high crime rate.
On Monday the White House issued an article titled “Yes, Chicago Has a Crime Problem — Just Ask its Residents” which details the criminal activity of Pritzker’s biggest city.
“President Donald J. Trump’s historic effort to restore public safety in the nation’s capital has led to unprecedented drops in violent crime, including murders,” the White House article said. “Now, as President Trump rightly calls attention to the crime and disrepair gripping other major U.S. cities — like Democrat-run Chicago — Democrat politicians seem far more upset about the offer of assistance than the crime epidemic in their own backyards.”
The White House listed some facts about the city’s crime:
Here are the facts on Chicago’s crime problem:
- For 13 consecutive years, Chicago has had the most murders of any U.S. city.
- For seven consecutive years, Chicago has had the highest murder rate among U.S. cities with more than one million people.
- In 2024, Chicago’s murder rate per capita was three times higher than Los Angeles and nearly five times higher than New York City. That’s more than double the murder rate in Islamabad and nearly 15 times more than Delhi.
- Out of Chicago’s 147,899 reported crimes since January 1, arrests have been made in just 16.2% of them.
- More illegal guns are recovered in Chicago than in New York City and Los Angeles combined.
- The number of reported motor vehicle thefts last year was more than double the number in 2021.
- Chicago has also come under scrutiny over discrepancies in its homicide data reporting.
The article also had many quotes from Chicago’s residents who want anti-crime action as well as recent headlines detailing crime in the city.
