Trump Administration Considers Deploying Troops to US Cities Amid Protests

A New York Times report reveals that the Trump administration is considering deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities across the United States, beyond Los Angeles. The decision comes amid protests against Trump and ICE. A US official confirmed active discussions within the administration, including the Pentagon, about the deployment. "As protests escalated around the country Tuesday night, a US official said there were active discussions inside the administration, including the Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to other cities around the country beyond Los Angeles," according to the report. The move has sparked concern, with some calling it dictatorial. The lack of requests from governors or mayors for the deployment further fuels concerns about the potential abuse of power. This situation underlines the importance of transparency and accountability in government decision-making, especially regarding the use of military forces within the country.
