(NewsNation) — An elite specialized tactical unit within Immigration and Customs Enforcement will be deployed to Chicago in the near future, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told NewsNation on Tuesday.

Noem, leaving a lengthy Trump administration Cabinet meeting at the White House, was asked by NewsNation if Chicago could be the next target of federal forces deployed by President Donald Trump.

“We’re going to have a strike team in Chicago soon,” Noem told NewsNation when asked about plans for the nation's third-largest city.

Noem’s comments come on the heels of Chicago remaining a primary talking point for Trump, who said again on Tuesday that he would consider sending the National Guard to Chicago if he were asked by Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.
