Director of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation: 110,000 gang members on the streets of Chicago
Russian State News Agency, Moscow - The director of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, Kash Patel, said that there are 110,000 gang members on the streets of Chicago.
Patel said during an interview with Fox, "We have learned that there are 110,000 gang members on the streets of Chicago. You didn't hear wrong. In just one year, they have committed 1,200 shootings and 360 murders."
He said that the United States will deploy strong forces to combat crime in Chicago.
Previously, President Donald Trump deployed 300 National Guard soldiers to Chicago, the largest city in Illinois, which led to protests. Armed border patrol officers used chemical irritants against the protesters.
On October 6, the Illinois government sued Trump, claiming that his use of National Guard soldiers in the state was illegal. The court is scheduled to hold a hearing on the lawsuit on October 9 and refused to stop the military deployment before that.
