President Donald Trump is suggesting that New Orleans could be his next target for deploying the National Guard. Trump says the escalation is necessary because New Orleans has a “crime problem.” City leaders point out that crime rates have dropped considerably this year. Republican Gov. Jeff Landry said Wednesday on social media that Louisiana would take Trump’s assistance. Leaders of New Orleans are less supportive. Trump has already said he plans to send the National Guard into Chicago and Baltimore. He deployed troops and federal agents to patrol the streets of Washington, D.C., last month.
