President Biden is planning to send a "strike force" to Chicago to crack down on gun trafficking.
He spoke to Mayor Lightfoot on Wednesday when he was in town for a visit to northwest suburban Crystal Lake.
The Mayor says that she did not ask the President to send the National Guard to the city, but agreed that something must be done.
The President's plan comes after Chicago experienced a holiday weekend with over 100 shootings.
Mayor Lightfoot says she remains in contact with the White House in hopes of getting resources to the city as quickly as possible.
