The Pentagon did not provide a comment, but a Defense official said, “We won’t speculate on further operations. The Department is a planning organization and is continuously working with other agency partners on plans to protect federal assets and personnel.”

Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said, “There’s no basis, no authority for Donald Trump to potentially try to drop federal troops into the city of Chicago.”
