"Tapper grilled Homan about the Truth Social meme in which Chicago was shown burning and Trump's face was superimposed on the body of the Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore a lead character in the iconic war film played by Robert Duvall. The post's caption was a play on the movie's signature line I love the smell of napalm in the morning. I love the smell of deportations in the morning, the caption read."
"Homan argued that Trump's words are being taken out of context. We're going to the war with the criminal cartels, Homan said. We're going to war with illegal aliens public safety threats that rape children, that raped citizens, that committing [sic] armed robberies, that distribute narcotics that kill Americans. We're at war with criminal cartels. And Governor Pritzker protects criminal, illegal alien, public-safety threats every day in that state."
President Trump posted a Truth Social meme that showed Chicago burning with his face on a character from Apocalypse Now and a caption invoking deportations. CNN's Jake Tapper confronted former ICE acting director Tom Homan about whether the post signaled plans to "go to war" in Chicago. Homan said the administration is targeting criminal cartels and illegal aliens accused of violent crimes and narcotics distribution, and he accused Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker of protecting such threats. Governor Pritzker called the post a threat to an American city and condemned the depiction. Tapper questioned whether federal or National Guard troops would be deployed to Chicago.
