Illinois and Maryland \u2014 both run by Democrats seen as possible 2028 contenders \u2014 have been mentioned as potential targets, while Louisiana is under Republican control.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s authority suffered a setback earlier this month when a federal judge ruled he broke the law by sending the Guard to Los Angeles during recent riots. But that ruling seems dubious given that other presidents have deployed National Guard troops under similar circumstances in the past.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling is also under appeal by the administration and is likely to wind up at the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\">\n<div data-delay=\"4000\" data-block=\"12\">\n<div>\n<div id=\"e1c09a52-67a1-44a3-a58e-fc2bf67380c6\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Last month, Trump declared an emergency and dispatched federal agents and National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., an action that has seen a noticable drop in crime following a surge of arrests.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the move has been so successful that Washington, D.C., Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered the city to continue working with federal law enforcement officers, even after Trump\u2019s takeover is set to expire next week.<\/p>\n<p>Bowser signed the order Tuesday, saying that city officials will \u201censure coordination with federal law enforcement to the maximum extent allowable by law within the District\u201d even when the public safety emergency Trump proclaimed over crime in D.C. last month ends. The order has no expiration date and takes effect right away.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement posted on social media, Bowser said that she issued the order \u201cto provide the pathway forward beyond the Presidential emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter who asked if he was \u201ctrying to go to war with Chicago,\u201d after he posted a meme portraying the city as an &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15132,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15131"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15133,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15131\/revisions\/15133"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
