Speaking in the Oval Office beside FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi, President Donald Trump announced plans to “go into other cities” under “Operation Summer Heat” to combat crime. He cited thousands of arrests and singled out San Francisco and Chicago, vowing to “save” cities and make them “essentially crime-free.” The administration has boosted federal presence in mainly Democratic cities, including National Guard deployments. In Oregon, a judge extended a restraining order on sending Guardsmen to Portland, while Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker disputed the administration’s crime claims.
