""We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again - Only a question of time!" Trump said on Truth Social. He added that the three cities would be "GONE" if his administration hadn't intervened. "It is hard to believe that these Democrat Mayors and Governors, all of whom are greatly incompetent, would want us to leave, especially considering the great progress that has been made???""
"State of play: Trump's decision to pull back the Guard comes after months of legal challenges stymieing his efforts to deploy troops in several U.S. cities. He previously deployed National Guard members to Los Angeles after immigration-related protests in the city escalated. He also ordered troops to Portland, Oregon and Chicago, though they were never permitted to patrol city streets amid legal challenges."
"The Supreme Court last week rejected Trump's request to deploy the guard to the Chicago area in a major blow to the administration's attempts to cut down on illegal immigration. What we're watching: Though Trump has been legally barred from deploying troops to certain cities, it remains unclear if the president would consider invoking the 1807 Insurrection Act to bypass court rulings."
Trump announced that federal forces will return in a stronger form if crime surges and claimed his interventions prevented three cities from becoming "GONE." The White House directed queries to Trump's Truth Social post. The administration pulled back the National Guard after months of legal challenges that blocked troop deployments in several U.S. cities. The administration had deployed Guard members to Los Angeles and attempted deployments to Portland and Chicago, but courts barred troops from patrolling city streets. The Supreme Court rejected a request to deploy the guard to Chicago, and consideration of the 1807 Insurrection Act remains unclear.
