U.S. President Donald Trump has deployed National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., saying they’re needed to fight crime — and he’s warned that Chicago may be next. Critics call it unconstitutional and a power grab that militarizes cities without addressing the root causes of crime.

Jesús García and Ed Yohnka of the ACLU weigh in on Trump’s threat to send troops into Chicago.
