Fox News host Brian Kilmeade has apologized for advocating the execution of mentally ill homeless people. His earlier remarks, made on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday, began receiving wide circulation online over the weekend. On Sunday, Kilmeade called his remarks callous. Kilmeade and Fox colleagues had been discussing the August murder of a woman in North Carolina, for which a mentally ill homeless man was arrested. Fox host Lawrence Jones said such homeless people who don't accept public services offered to them should be jailed. Kilmeade responded that they should be given an “involuntary lethal injection, or something." He added: “Just kill 'em.”

President Donald Trump says Chicago will likely be the next target of his efforts to address crime, homelessness and illegal immigration. On Friday, Trump mentioned that Chicago could receive similar treatment to Washington, D.C., where 2,000 troops have been deployed. He also indicated plans to assist New York. Trump has often described some of the nation’s largest cities as dangerous. On Friday, he singled out Chicago, calling it a “mess” and claiming residents are “screaming for us to come.” City officials and advocates, meanwhile, slammed Trump's threats and emphasized drops in violent crime in Chicago.

President Donald Trump is threatening to deploy military forces to more Democratic-led cities. On Sunday, the president added Baltimore to a list that already includes Chicago and New York. This move comes in a dispute with Maryland's Democratic governor, Wes Moore, who has criticized Trump's use of federal power to combat crime and homelessness. Trump mentioned Moore in a Truth Social post, suggesting he might repeat a National Guard deployment similar to one earlier this year in Los Angeles. Moore had invited Trump to Maryland to discuss public safety. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has criticized Trump's actions, calling them a manufactured crisis.

West Virginia is sending 300 to 400 members of its National Guard to the nation’s capital to assist in the Trump’s administration’s takeover of the city’s police department. The move by a nearby state comes as hundreds of District of Columbia National Guard were activated this week to back up local law enforcement in what the Republican administration calls an effort to crack down on crime and homelessness in the District of Columbia. Gov. Patrick Morrisey said Saturday he's deploying “300-400 skilled personnel” from the West Virginia National Guard to support Trump’s “initiative to make D.C. safe and beautiful.”
