In addition to discussing the reforms, Johnson plans to request that Sessions assign more assistant U.S. attorneys to Chicago to prosecute gun crimes, said Anthony Guglielmi, Johnson's spokesman. He said Johnson would like more federal prosecutors to focus on cases in Chicago's most violent patrol districts, including Englewood on the South Side and Harrison on the West Side.



Johnson also plans to ask Sessions for federal funding that would go to mentorship programs for Chicago's youths, Guglielmi said. In January, Mayor Rahm Emanuel expressed interest in acquiring that kind of funding following a vague tweet sent by Trump about Chicago's violence that read, "I will send in the Feds!"
