Trump pauses plans to deploy National Guard troops in three cities

Bowing to lawsuits from Democratic-run cities of Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland, Oregon, the President’s added in his New Year’s Eve social media post: “We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again – Only a question of time!” The Supreme Court recently ruled against the Administration’s deployment of National Guard troops in the Chicago area. The order was not a final ruling but was a significant setback. The president argued the moves were intended to curtail crime, enforce immigration law, and protect federal properties. A court case in Tennessee is ongoing. New Orleans is welcoming a deployment through Mardi Gras for public safety.
