US EditionTrump sending National Guard to New Orleans in next crime crackdown
President Trump aims to enforce law and order by deploying the National Guard to New Orleans despite declining violent crime rates and local opposition, with prior deployments costing $1 million daily.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump said he will deploy troops to New Orleans, citing an invitation from Governor Jeff Landry and marking the first deployment to a Red state.
- Trump's repeated Guard deployments this year include Los Angeles earlier this year and Washington, D.C. last month, while he portrayed New Orleans, Chicago, and Baltimore as "lawless" despite crime trending downward throughout the year.
- Speaking in the Rose Garden, President Donald Trump declared, "But these are high-crime areas. As high as there is in the world... You're safer there than you are in Chicago at night. But we're going to make Chicago like this," while the Washington, D.C. deployment costs $1 million daily and produced 1,669 arrests amid low morale and guardsmen picking up trash.
- Mayors and residents of Baltimore and Chicago have opposed National Guard threats, yet President Donald Trump continues deployments, while critics warn these operations drain taxpayer funds that could support community investment programs.
- With that expansion, President Donald Trump is shifting his plan to Blue cities in Red states, with observers warning it targets cities with Black mayors and strains morale among guardsmen assigned non-policing duties.
