Illinois lieutenant gov: Trump 'wants to manufacture a crisis' in Chicago
Illinois Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton (D) accused President Trump of trying to “manufacture a crisis” to justify an anticrime takeover and anticipated immigration crackdown in Chicago, similar to what Trump has spearheaded in the nation’s capital in recent weeks.
“This is not about public safety, and this is not about making our residents safer,” Stratton said during an appearance on CNN’s “News Central” on Tuesday. “What Donald Trump wants to happen is he wants to manufacture a crisis.”
“He wants to … inflame tensions, and he wants to make sure that he can cause some sort of crisis so that he can say that he’s coming to the rescue,” she added.

“There’s been no direct communication with the governor — there’s been no coordination, not just with our administration, but with local law enforcement — and so, if this really is about what do we need to do to promote public safety and create safer communities, why would there not be coordination with our administration?” Stratton told CNN’s Kate Bolduan on Tuesday.
