President Donald Trump threatened Illinois’s biggest city with a ‘Chipocalypse’ ahead of expected Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.
Trump, 79, took to his social media platform, Truth Social, on Saturday to post a meme about himself, where he wrote: ‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning.
‘Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR.’
Trump rebranded the Pentagon to the Department of War this week.
The White House reposted it on X with three helicopter emojis.
Trump’s threat comes as ICE readies a raid on the Windy City after Trump said he selected it for the next federal military takeover.
The Department of Homeland Security asked the Pentagon to have access to Naval Station Great Lakes – the largest military base in Illinois – to base the operation, The Washington Post reported.
The request said that around 250 federal agents and 140 vehicles would utilize the base.
National Guard troops could also be sent in to assist the effort, according to The Chicago Sun-Times.
