389 | How Cook County Public Defenders are Preparing for Trump Deploying the National Guard to Chicago w/Sharone Mitchell Jr. and Sharlyn Grace
Today, Hunter was joined once again by Sharone Mitchell Jr. and Sharlyn Grace of the Cook County Public Defender Office. As we have already seen in Los Angeles and D.C., President Trump is threatening to deploy the national guard to Chicago to combat "crime." Today, Sharone and Sharlyn joined the show to discuss what is actually happening on the ground in Chicago, what the city needs to continue improving public safety, and what Trump's threats are actually about.
Guest:
Sharone Mitchell Jr., Chief Public Defender, Cook County, Chicago, Illinois
Sharlyn Grace, Deputy Public Defender for Policy, Cook County, Chicago, Illinois
