President Donald Trump Monday directed Tennessee's National Guard deployed to the Democratic-led city of Memphis, following similar actions in the District of Columbia that Trump has said were needed to tackle crime. Trump said his efforts in the district – using the National Guard – would be replicated in cities across the country. It’s the first time Trump has sent the National Guard into a red state, after seizing control of the California National Guard from the state’s governor — a Democrat — for deployment in Los Angeles, and then sending Guard members to the district, another Democratic stronghold. Other citiesThe dispatch of the National Guard to Tennessee comes after Trump has threatened to send troops to other cities including New Orleans; Portland, Oregon; and Chicago. Pritzker has repeatedly rejected the idea of sending the National Guard into Chicago.
