President Donald Trump will give a speech and sign an executive order at the Chiefs of Police Annual Conference and Exposition in Chicago on Monday. Trump's visit comes amid heightened tension between his administration and the city of Chicago.
In interviews, Trump branded Chicago as a "war zone," repeatedly criticizing the city for its handling of crime and saying in a tweet that he"People are being shot left and right, thousands of people over a short period of time," Trump said in an ABC interview. "Chicago is like a war zone."
A high-level figure in the Chicago Police Department will be noticeably absent from the event. Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson has"As police officers, our job is to be the voice for the voiceless and ambassadors to the communities that we serve. I can't in good conscience stand by while racial insults and hatred are cast from the Oval Office, or Chicago is held hostage because of our views on New Americans," Johnson said in a statement released by the Chicago Police Department.
