President Donald Trump says he'll send the National Guard to Memphis to address crime concerns there with the support of the mayor and the governor. The Republican president said on Fox News Channel on Friday “the mayor is happy” and “the governor is happy” about the pending deployment. The mayor is a Democrat, and the governor is a Republican. Trump says Memphis is “deeply troubled” and he's “going to fix that." Trump cited Washington, where he’s sent National Guard and surged federal law enforcement. Trump has openly mused about sending troops to some of the nation’s most Democratic cities — including Chicago and Baltimore — claiming they are needed to crack down on crime.
President Donald Trump has threatened sending the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, to quell protests. There have been nightly protests at the city's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building since June. While disruptive to nearby residents, the demonstrations are a far cry from from the unrest that gripped the city during the racial justice protests of 2020. Recent protests peaked in June, with Portland police declaring one a riot and other smaller clashes since then. Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles over the summer, and as part of his law enforcement takeover in Washington, D.C. He has also recently threatened to send troops to Chicago and Baltimore to combat crime.

North Carolina's Republican legislative leaders are pushing for stricter pretrial release laws after a Ukrainian refugee was fatally stabbed on a Charlotte train. The proposed package is likely to advance at the General Assembly later this month and in part aims to reduce discretion for magistrates in criminal cases. Senate leader Phil Berger and House Speaker Destin Hall outlined the package on Thursday. It may include restarting the death penalty and blocking cashless bail for people with violent felony convictions. The stabbing suspect has a criminal history and was released earlier this year on a misdemeanor charge. Any approved legislation would go to Democratic Gov. Josh Stein's desk.

Security experts are questioning the protection provided to Charlie Kirk at the Utah college where he was fatally shot. The shooting happened Wednesday during an outdoor event at Utah Valley University. Campus police chief Jeff Long said six officers staffed the event and coordinated with Kirk’s security team. While the gunman remained at large Thursday, experts criticized the lack of perimeter security and the decision to hold the event outdoors. Utah allows concealed carry on campuses, complicating security efforts. The shooter fired from a rooftop, which raised concerns about securing elevated areas at such events.
