Lightfoot, White House signal Trump might not send Portland-style strike force to Chicago – Chicago Sun-Times
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany hinted at the Tuesday briefing that federal agents working with Operation Legend may be sent to Chicago. Trump s Wednesday guidance said he will be delivering remarks on Operation Legend, combating violent crime in American cities.
The Justice Department is expected to announce the expansion of that violent-crime initiative. It is through Operation Legend that Attorney General William Barr earlier sent more than 100 agents from the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, DEA and ATF to help state and local law enforcement, beginning in Kansas City, Missouri.
