'I would feel more worried' - Chicagoans on Trump's plan to deploy troops

US President Donald Trump has doubled down on plans to send the National Guard to Chicago, Illinois to address crime. The deployment would follow similar arrangements of the National Guard in Washington DC and Los Angeles, California.

"We're going in," Trump told reporters when asked about Chicago on Tuesday. "I didn't say when, but we're going in."

Trump's announcement has drawn pushback from local political leaders and residents. He has not specified when the deployment could occur.

The BBC spoke to Chicago residents about the possible presence of the National Guard in their city, and if they think it's necessary.
