U.S. President Donald Trump has deployed National Guard troops onto the streets of Washington, D.C., saying it’s necessary to tackle crime. Now he’s warning Chicago could be next. His critics say it’s unconstitutional and a power grab move that creates a militarized environment without solving the root causes of crime. 

Martin Austermuhle, a journalist with The 51st, a local Washington, D.C. news outlet, talks about what life is like in the capital with National Guard troops on the ground. Then Illinois Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García and Ed Yohnka of the ACLU of Illinois weigh in on Trump’s threats to send the National Guard into Chicago.
