13:26Now PlayingRobert McWhirter, a civil rights lawyer and constitutional law expert, said President Trump has some authority over the National Guard in the nation’s capital but a decision to send them into other cities could end up in court.
President Donald Trump has called Chicago “a mess” and threatened to tap the National Guard to tackle crime in the third-largest US city, expanding federal deployments beyond Washington, DC.
His comments, though, come just as Chicago is on the rebound.
