Trump's America: Troops, Threats, and Hidden Dangers Rise

Trump Administration's Deployment of Troops Cost Taxpayers Nearly $500 Million

President Donald Trump's decision to deploy National Guard troops to multiple U.S. cities over the past year cost taxpayers nearly $500 million, according to a report released Wednesday by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Since June, the Trump Administration deployed federal troops to six U.S. cities: Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Memphis, Portland, Chicago, and New Orleans, according to Time.

The deployments, which the President argued were needed to crack down on crime, faced legal backlash and sparked outrage from local and state leaders, as well as residents, Time reported. The CBO estimates that the Trump Administration's deployment of troops to Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Memphis, Portland, and Chicago through December cost nearly $500 million.

In other news, after mounting public outcry over two fatal shootings in Minneapolis at the hands of federal immigration officials, evidence of indiscriminate stops of U.S. citizens, and widespread allegations of unconstitutional search and seizure violations, President Donald Trumps top immigration adviser says he has requested plans to withdraw some of the thousands of federal immigration officers in Minnesota, Time reported. But immigration agents will continue making arrests, Trump's 'border czar' Tom Homan told reporters in Minneapolis on Thursday. "We are not going to surrender our mission at all, we're just going to do it smarter," he said, according to Time. Trump hastily sent Homan, a former acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), to Minnesota on Monday night for emergency meetings with local officials, Time reported.

It appears increasingly likely that in the coming days, the United States will bomb Iran again, according to Vox.
