Chicago, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Senator Tammy Duckworth says she’s still concerned about the lack of details about any plans President Trump may have to send the National Guard to Chicago to help combat what he claims is a growing crime problem.

Duckworth, of Illinois, tells CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday any of Trump’s plans are pretty much news to her.

“We certainly have sent the administration multiple inquiries about what they are planning on doing, who they are bringing into Chicago.  Are they planning to bring the National Guard in?” said Duckworth.  “They’ve done none of that.  They have not even reached out to local law enforcement to try and coordinate.”

That’s similar to complaints Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson have made.

Duckworth — an Iraq war veteran — also is less than pleased with Trump posting something to Truth Social over the weekend seeming to suggest he’s declaring “war” on Chicago — something Trump has denied.

“Let’s make it clear:  the President of the United States essentially just declared war on a major city in his own nation,” Duckworth told CBS.  “This is not normal. This is not acceptable behavior.”

It’s still believed that the nearby Great Lakes Naval Training Station will be used as a sort of base of operations.

Trump recently also nominated former National Security Adviser Mike Waltz to be the United States’ ambassador to the United Nations — this, after Waltz was scrutinized following the Signal chat saga.  Duckworth cites that scandal as a reason he shouldn’t be in such a job.

“This is a very perilous time for our national security,” said Duckworth.  “With everything that’s happening in Ukraine, with everything that’s happening in Israel and all around the world…now we’re going to put somebody in who’s completely incompetent over at the U.N., who’s going to have to be conducting these negotiations, talking with our allies, trying to get them on board with us while we oppose our adversaries, and continuing to fail up is not what we need in people who represent this country.”

In March, Waltz inadvertently added a journalist to a Signal group chat where details of air strikes in Yemen were being discussed.
