Trump threatens to send 'more than National Guard' to US cities
President Trump threatens to deploy active military troops beyond the National Guard to enforce law and order in cities facing protests and crime, despite opposition and court challenges.
- On Oct. 27, President Donald Trump said he would send more than the National Guard to 'troubled' U.S. cities while addressing troops in Yokosuka, Japan.
- President Trump has deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland and Memphis, but mayors and governors sued, leading to mixed court blocks; Trump threatened earlier this month to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act if courts block deployments.
- A federal judge in Chicago temporarily blocked the deployment there, the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to lift that restriction, and courts have blocked deployments in Portland and Chicago.
- Amid pushback, President Donald Trump told troops he can send any branch of the military into U.S. cities and recently backed down on a National Guard threat to San Francisco after big tech leaders intervened.
