Trump Abandons Push to Deploy National Guard in Major Cities

Former President Donald Trump will no longer seek to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, Oregon. This decision follows a series of legal defeats. Federal courts blocked the proposed deployments in Chicago and Portland. In Los Angeles, a judge halted the plan earlier this month, effectively ending the effort there. The push to send troops was a signature proposal during Trump's recent campaign. The plan aimed to address crime, but faced immediate legal challenges and strong opposition from local leaders in the three cities. With the court orders in place, the initiative cannot move forward.
