"Trump doesn’t have the authority to unilaterally send the National Guard to Illinois except in very limited circumstances, since federally activated troops are otherwise barred by the Posse Comitatus Act from policing on U.S. soil."

They enable it. Crime keeps the courts busy, lawyers busy and social service workers, violence interruptors, etc. busy. All are fed by the cash cow known as the taxpayer because the majority of defendants( in Cook and surrounding counties, anyway ) have public defenders, etc. Doing away with crime and locking up criminals would be a financial disaster for certain segments of the state of IL. Ditto the welfare system.
