President Donald Trump suggested that as many as 75,000 federal agents could be activated in cities across the country to stop a surge in violence and said that stronger measures are going to be needed in the future after he made an announcement to deploy officers in Chicago and Albuquerque.
The administration has so far deployed federal agents in Chicago, Albuquerque, and Kansas City to combat a rise in crime and shootings in recent weeks. Other agents have been deployed in Portland, Oregon, and Seattle following protests, demonstrations, and violent riots allegedly sparked by far-left agitators, drawing condemnation from local officials.
