President Donald Trump on Sunday reopened his long-running fight with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker over Chicago crime, declaring on Truth Social that he could make it "a safe City in ONE MONTH" and demanding to know why the Democrat governor wasn't seeking federal help after a violent Father's Day weekend that left several people dead and more than 20 wounded.

"Lots of Killing going on in Chicago. 22 people shot, at least 4 Dead. Why isn't Governor Pritzker calling me for help," Trump wrote, pointing to his federal takeover of policing in Washington, D.C., as a model. "D.C. went from one of the worst, to one of the safest cities in the U.S."

The president's numbers tracked, but understated, what Chicago police were tallying as the holiday weekend wore on.

CBS Chicago reported six dead and 30 wounded across the city as of late Saturday, with victims ranging in ages from 14 to 70.

The Chicago Sun-Times put the toll at five killed and 22 hurt, including 12 wounded in a single mass shooting in Roseland on the South Side, where a red SUV pulled up on a crowd in the 200 block of West 95th Street late Friday, and two gunmen opened fire.

Mayor Brandon Johnson called the Roseland attack a "horrific act of violence," saying in a statement that "what should have been a night of celebration and community reflection for Juneteenth was shattered."

The city said it was opening an emergency assistance center in the neighborhood and sending outreach workers from its Crisis Assistance Response and Engagement program to canvass the area.

The exchange marks the latest round in a feud that escalated last year, when Trump moved to federalize National Guard troops and send them into Chicago over the objections of Pritzker and Johnson.

A federal judge blocked the deployment, the Supreme Court left that order in place, and the administration pulled troops from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland late last year.

Trump warned at the time that the troops "will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again."

Pritzker has rejected the premise that Chicago needs federal intervention, pointing to data showing homicides fell from 587 in 2024 to 416 in 2025, the lowest annual count since 1965 and the first drop below 500 in a decade. Shootings and overall violent crime also declined sharply.

The governor, who is weighing a 2028 presidential bid, has called Trump's deployments an "invasion" and vowed continued resistance.

The White House has continued to argue the city remains an outlier on raw homicide totals.

Independent analysts, including the Council on Criminal Justice, say Chicago has led major U.S. cities in total murders for 13 straight years but ranks behind St. Louis, Memphis, Baltimore, and Washington on a per-capita basis.

Pritzker's office did not immediately respond to Trump's Sunday post.

As of midday Sunday, no arrests had been announced in the Roseland shooting.
