Everyone in Chicago knows that it's an hour and a half away from the city so it's kinda confusing why they're using that facility It's closer to Wisconsin

Closest military base to Chicago since they closed Fort Sheridan and Glenview. It has lots of infrastructure and a very large hospital. My little sister was born there in '69.

But they will need a quarter of a million troops for Chicago. And even then citizens will outnumber them 50 to 1. I don’t see how martial law works. Soldiers don’t want to be in this position. And citizens will shoot back if fired upon. So the US is at war with Chicago then. Makes no sense.

The military deployments in US cities are one of the steps needed to accomplish their goal -> control all protests and election results. I've been saying this since Nov 2020. Remember Jan 6th?? TFG is NOT going to leave office VOLUNTARILY. Any volunteers?? Democracy is bleeding out. WE ARE LOSING!!

I honestly believe he or whoever is scheming up these details, have made a couple grave errors. This area will fight back. Also, he’s picked Chicago because of a guy who mocked him at a correspondents dinner. Chicago is loyal to Obama and would rise up quickly. Then add union strong.

Trump truly believes he is free and clear from the crimes he has, and is committing while in office. Pardons or not, Trump and every top cabinet member will most likely face 'State' level charges and convictions in multiple states for their crimes against the people. They all deserve prison.

I think them talking about Chicago is a ruse. At least initially. I spent most of my life in Lake County. Outside base are our largest immigrant and non-white communities. They will be able to kidnap people there and disappear back to federal land in minutes. Then maybe move on to Chicago and MKE.

There are only 2 routes into the city from Great Lakes. The majority of one winds past many mansions and multi-million dollar homes in residential areas. The other is an "expressway" with traffic that reminds people of CA freeways. Not great for commutes.
