JUST IN: Trump Says He's Withdrawing National Guard from Chicago, LA, Portland But Adds We Will Come Back'

"President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social account Wednesday that he was withdrawing National Guard troops from several Democratic cities but added a prediction that they would be sent back in the future. Multiple cities around the U.S. have been sparring with the Trump administration over sending ICE agents and National Guard troops into cities to crack down on immigration, crime, and protests, over the objections of local and state elected officials."

"We are removing the National Guard from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, despite the fact that CRIME has been greatly reduced by having these great Patriots in those cities, and ONLY by that fact. Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago were GONE if it weren't for the Federal Government stepping in. We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again."

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social the removal of National Guard troops from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland while predicting their return if crime surges. He credited the troops with greatly reducing crime and said the cities would have been gone without federal intervention. He attacked Democratic mayors and governors as incompetent for wanting the troops to leave despite claimed progress. Multiple U.S. cities have clashed with the administration over deployment of ICE agents and National Guard personnel to address immigration, crime, and protests. Several legal challenges were filed by affected cities and states. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that exceptional circumstances to federalize troops in Chicago were not established.
