Donald Trump addressed the issue of Chicago’s 2016 murder spike on Monday, suggesting that mayor Rahm Emanuel may need to ask for help from the federal government.
The Windy City’s 762 murders in 2016 are a 57 percent increase from 2015, when 480 people were killed. The 2016 figure is the highest since 1996, when 796 people were murdered.
Trump did not elaborate on how the feds might help deter Chicago crime. But federal resources were deployed to help fight crime there in 2014. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives added seven agents to its Chicago office. The FBI added 20 agents of its own that year following an outbreak of violence over the July 4th holiday.
