Maryland deploys more law enforcement to Baltimore amid Trump’s threats to send troops
Maryland Governor Wes Moore coordinates a surge of state troopers and legal strategies in Baltimore to address crime, opposing President Trump's National Guard plan amid a 73% higher crime rate than D.C.
- Governor Wes Moore announced an increase in Maryland State Troopers and Transportation Authority Police officers in Baltimore in response to President Trump's indication that he might send National Guard troops to the city.
- This action follows President Trump's rhetoric criticizing Baltimore's crime rates and threatening troop deployment, which Moore rejected as an inspiration and opposed the Guard's policing role.
- Moore and Mayor Brandon Scott emphasized ongoing efforts that have reduced Baltimore's homicides from 129 last year to 91 this year, advocating community-focused strategies over a military approach.
- Scott said, "We do not need troops on our streets," and Moore criticized "performative and theatrical resources" that lack real commitment to reducing crime.
- Maryland officials are developing legal strategies in response to possible National Guard deployment and are working on strengthening law enforcement coordination, emphasizing that Guard personnel lack the necessary training for law enforcement duties.
