Earlier this month, President Trump posted this“I love the smell of deportations in the morning. Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR.” He seemed poised to send the National Guard to the city in an attempt to curb crime, after having deployed them in D.C. But this week, he turned his attention to Memphis, signing an order for deployment there and vowing to circle back to Chicago later. And these three cities aren’t the only ones on his radarBaltimore, Portland, New Orleans, and St. Louis are also bracing for possible deployments. But why send the National Guard a temporary military force to these cities when crime has already fallen this year in every single city he’s mentioned? Brittany gets into it with Abdallah Fayyad () , policy correspondent at Vox, and Alex V. Hernandez () , neighborhood reporter for Block Club Chicago.
