(The Center Square) - President Donald Trump said Monday that Chicago is "probably next" to see the National Guard sent in in an effort to crack down on crime.

Trump made the comment at an address in the oval office on Monday after officially announcing he would send the National Guard to Memphis, Tennessee.

Trump said he would send the National Guard, FBI, DEA and other federal agencies to be a replica of the administration's crime fighting efforts in Washington, D.C.

"This team will have the full power of federal law enforcement," Trump said.

Trump highlighted several statistics of crime in Memphis and said the city had the highest violent crime rate and property crime rate of any city in 2024. He also said the city had the third highest murder rate of any city in the nation in 2024.
