US EditionKaren Bass: Trump ‘Creating Warfare Within Cities’
The Trump administration is deploying National Guard troops to multiple cities to support local police amid rising crime, with mixed public and political reactions reported.
- Wednesday on CNN, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said the Trump administration wanted to `go in primarily inner city communities and shoot people` and called it `such a tragic moment in our history`.
- This past Monday the federal crackdown reached Memphis, Tennessee, as the administration deployed the National Guard, the FBI and partners to Memphis, Washington, D.C. and Portland, Oregon.
- White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told officers they were `unleashed` to `go out and get the criminals off the streets`, and President Donald Trump said `we're going into Chicago very soon` using cities as `training grounds`.
- In June the administration deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles during immigration raids, and a federal judge ruled that action unlawful three months later; Memphis Mayor Paul Young cooperates while opponents at city hall urged funds for education and services.
- Bass warned that the crackdown amounts to `creating lawfare within` major cities and called it `a tragic moment in our history`, saying President Donald Trump wants to turn the U.S. military against the American people.
