"We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again - Only a question of time!"
"the Guard's mission would be to protect federal properties and government agents in the field, not "solving all of crime in Chicago.""
President Donald Trump announced he is dropping, for now, his push to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland after legal roadblocks hindered the effort. He stated the administration may return in a different and stronger form if crime surges. Governors typically control state National Guards, and the deployments were sought against the wishes of state and local Democratic leaders as part of a broader crackdown on immigration, crime, and protests. The Justice Department said any Guard mission would focus on protecting federal property and agents, not solving all city crime. Local officials credited police and public safety programs for reductions in crime; Chicago reported 416 homicides in 2025, the fewest since 2014.
