Trump Sends National Guard To New Orleans
U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that National Guard troops will soon be sent to New Orleans, after Republican Gov. Jeff Landry requested up to 1,000 troops and expects arrivals before Christmas. Trump gave no troop numbers or exact dates; local police report violent crime and homicides have fallen and the city is on pace for its lowest homicide total in nearly 50 years. Critics warn the deployment risks civil-rights violations, disrupts cultural events, and may prompt legal challenges.
