Trump hints at federal crackdown in Chicago amid anti-crime push in DC

"After we do this will go to another location, and we'll make it safe, also. We're going to make our country very safe," he said when speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Friday. "We're going to make our cities very, very safe. Chicago's a mess."

"We'll straighten that one out probably next," he added. "That'll be our next one after this and it won't even be tough."

While he said Chicago would be next, the windy city wasn't the only place the president called out. He also said the federal crackdown could come to his hometown, New York City.

Last week, in an unprecedented move, Trump implemented a federal crime crackdown in D.C. and brought in additional law enforcement resources to clean up the nation's capital. His approach appears to be working, as Washington, D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital on Thursday that there has not been a homicide in the city in more than a week, coinciding with the takeover.

On Friday, Trump declared on Truth Social that D.C. was "safe again" and that it would soon "be great again." He also praised law enforcement personnel for "doing a fantastic job."
