US EditionDemocrats Slam Trump’s Push for Troops in More Cities
The Trump administration aims to deploy National Guard troops to enforce immigration laws and reduce crime despite opposition from local officials and no confirmed deployment date.
- Officials say planning has unfolded Friday to send the National Guard to Chicago, Illinois, expanding anti-crime and immigration efforts after President Donald Trump's Oval Office remarks.
- Under Title 10, the president can deploy National Guard units to suppress rebellion or enforce laws, and President Donald Trump invoked this authority earlier this year.
- Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said Friday the city has not heard from the White House and called a federal deployment uncalled for and unlawful, while Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said Saturday Illinois made no request and sees no emergency.
- Legal experts warn Mr. Trump will likely face court challenges if deploying Guard troops from Republican-led states into Democratic strongholds under section 12406, while critics argue it politicizes and weakens the military, risking intimidation over real threats.
- Official crime data show Chicago, Illinois has had 84 murders so far this year, the fewest in more than 50 years, and Baltimore reported double-digit gun violence reductions in July.
