Trump backs off National Guard deployments in Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland

Former President Trump announced he's ceasing his efforts to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland. He claimed crime in these cities has significantly decreased due to his administration's actions. Trump suggested the cities would have been "gone" without his intervention, criticizing the mayors and governors. He made these statements on Truth Social, with the White House directing inquiries to his post. This decision follows months of legal battles that blocked troop deployments in several cities. Trump previously deployed National Guard members to Los Angeles and ordered them to Portland and Chicago, facing legal resistance. The Supreme Court's rejection of his Chicago troop request was a major setback. The possibility of Trump invoking the 1807 Insurrection Act remains uncertain given the legal constraints.
