Pa. is braced for Trump to send National Guard to Philadelphia, Gov. Shapiro says
Governor Josh Shapiro criticized the potential deployment as disruptive despite a 42% statewide drop in violent crime under his administration’s community investments.
- Governor Josh Shapiro said on September 3, 2025, that Pennsylvania is prepared if President Trump sends National Guard troops to Philadelphia.
- This preparation follows Trump's prior deployment of troops to Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., and his plans for similar actions in other cities.
- Shapiro emphasized his administration invested millions in policing and community groups, which helped reduce violent crime by 42% statewide.
- He called Trump's troop deployments "wrongheaded" and warned, "Now is not a time to disrupt that with distrust," while a federal judge ruled Trump's use of troops unconstitutional.
- Shapiro underlined that his teams are ready for any White House action but noted no deployment to Philadelphia is imminent, reflecting ongoing crime reduction progress.
