A DePaul University professor is calling on President Trump to follow through on his threat to bring federal law enforcement agents into the school's home town of Chicago.

Hill wrote in The Hill that he is a Jamaican immigrant who came to America with little money or prospects but has achieved success while chasing the American Dream.
