Donald Trump threatened to deploy National Guard troops Sunday to yet another Democratic stronghold, Baltimore, as the U.S. president seeks to expand his crackdown on crime and immigration. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/25/world/politics/trump-democrats-national-guard/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #jbpritzker #chicago #washington #usnationalguard #us #donaldtrump #republicans

How #Trump Used 10 #Emergency Declarations to Justify Hundreds of [otherwise #illegal] Actions

In his 7 months back in office, Trump has declared 9 #national emergencies, plus a “crime emergency” in #Washington.

The governors of another three Republican-led U.S. states have deployed National Guard troops to Washington in support of an extraordinary move by U.S. President Donald Trump to flood the city with soldiers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/20/world/politics/governors-national-guard-washington-trump/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #nationalguard #washington #us #donaldtrump #republicans #california #gavinnewsom

Personnel from #WestVirginia arrived Monday, with troops from #SouthCarolina, #Mississippi & advance teams from #Ohio & #Tennessee expected to arrive Tuesday, a defense official said.….

[The #NationalGuard troops are]…operating under the command of Joint Task Force DC, which will decide where in the city to send troops in coordination w/agencies asking for assistance.

#Louisiana mobilized 135 personnel over the weekend & expect them to arrive in #Washington on Tuesday, said Lt. Col. Noel Collins, a spox for the Louisiana #NationalGuard.
Information about where the #troops would patrol & where they would be housed has been scant. A #Trump admin official said Monday that the Guard members “will protect federal assets, create a safe environment for #law enforcement officials to carry out their duties when required, & provide a visible presence to deter crime.”

#Washington has been informed about the intent for the #NationalGuard to now be #armed, though it has not received details about when that could happen or where armed Guard members could be deployed in #DC….

It would be a departure from what the #Pentagon & #Army have said about the #troops being unarmed. The Army said last week that “weapons are available if needed but will remain in the armory.”

The Republican governors of three states are deploying hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., at the request of the administration of President Donald Trump, who has portrayed the city as awash in crime. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/17/world/states-national-guard-washington/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #washington #us #donaldtrump #usmilitary #republicans #democrats #uspolice

USA: Trump holt Nationalgarde weiterer Bundesstaaten nach Washington

Wegen eines angeblichen Notstands bei Kriminalität und Obdachlosigkeit hat US-Präsident Trump die Nationalgarde nach Washington beordert. Die Statistik widerspricht ihm - doch Trump holt noch mehr Soldaten.
