Trump calls for jailing of Chicago mayor and Illinois governor as national guard arrives in city

"Creating fear.
Taking people for “how they look.”
Making people feel they need to carry citizenship papers.
Invading our state with military troops.
Sending in war helicopters in the middle of the night.
Arresting elected officials asking questions.
We must all stand up and speak out.
