President Donald Trump reportedly phoned Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Wednesday night to hash out details of a “surge” of 200 federal agents designed to help Chicago officials control a dramatic uptick in gun violence that’s taken place in the city since the end of May.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the pair spoke about an agreement to send the 200 federal agents — mostly agents from the FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshals, and DEA — to assist the Chicago Police Department in handling crime in a number of target neighborhoods wracked by recent gang activity.
