National Guard Troops Withdrawn from Major U.S. Cities Amid Controversy
In a move that has sparked significant discussion, the Trump administration has quietly withdrawn National Guard troops from Chicago, Portland, and Los Angeles. This decision, completed last month, was largely unannounced by the White House or Pentagon, with minimal acknowledgment coming through social media. Critics suggest that the withdrawal follows a series of court losses for the administration. President Trump previously vowed to pull troops from these Democratic-led cities, citing concerns over rising crime, and indicated he would consider redeploying them if conditions worsen. The situation has led to media scrutiny, particularly regarding the lack of public communication about the troop pullout.
