Breaking News: Trump's National Guard Deployments Exposed as Years-Long Plan
President Donald Trump's deployments of National Guard troops to U.S. cities are not random, but rather a planned move years in the making, according to a review of past comments from Trump and his allies. The deployments, which have outraged his rivals and sparked nationwide protests, have been sent to four Democratic-led cities, with several more threatened.
The deployments are aimed at cracking down on immigration, a move that would stray significantly from past federal use of the Guard and challenge laws dictating how the U.S. military can be used domestically. Experts warn that Guard troops could be used as a tool of voter suppression and intimidation in the 2026 midterms.
Trump's administration has been planning this move for years, with the goal of employing America's military to aid in the mass deportation of immigrants without legal status. This plan has been met with resistance from courts, which are currently weighing in on its legality.
The National Guard has been deployed to cities including Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, with several more cities threatened. The move has sparked widespread protests and outrage from Trump's rivals.
This is a developing story, with ongoing court battles and potential future deployments. Stay tuned for further updates as more information becomes available.
