The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is permanently relocating more agents to gun-controlled Chicago in the wake of the city’s nearly 800 homicides in 2016 and the upward trend in violence during January 2017.
According to CNN, “ATF headquarters in Washington sent out a bulletin to field offices around the country Wednesday
looking for agents to volunteer for permanent transfer to the Chicago
area.” An unidentified official said “it’s unusual to ask for permanent
relocation in reaction to a specific problem.” Normal practice is for
the agency to request a surge of agents “for 30 to 60 days.”
January
2017 saw a surge in shootings and violence that easily surpassed the
violence witnessed in January 2016. According to the Chicago Tribune,
“At least 228 people were shot in Chicago [January 1 through January
22, 2017].” That was an increase of 16 victims above the number shot
during the same period in 2016. And there were “at least 42 homicides,”
marking a “23.5 percent … [increase from] the 34 homicides from the same
period in 2016.”
President Trump reacted to this surge in violence by tweeting:
CNN
spoke to two ATF officials about the additional federal agents heading
to Chicago. One said the new surge “is not in response” to Trump’s tweet
and the second official “could not say for sure that Trump’s comment
had nothing to do with decision.”
