Chicago Pushes Back as Trump Proposes National Guard Deployment to Address Crime | August 27, 2025
President Trump has signaled his desire to send National Guard troops into several American cities experiencing rising crime rates, arguing that federal intervention is necessary to restore public safety. Chicago, in particular, has been a focal point of the president’s concern, with Trump pointing to recent spikes in shootings and violent crime as justification for stronger federal involvement.
However, city leaders in Chicago are pushing back against the president’s proposal, insisting that they do not need or want the National Guard patrolling their streets.
This disagreement underscores a broader political and philosophical divide between the Trump administration and some major urban centers. Supporters of the president’s plan view the National Guard as a tool to bring immediate order to cities struggling with violence, while critics see it as an overreach of federal power and a misrepresentation of local realities.
