In his current administration, Trump has sent federal forces to Los Angeles, CA and Washington, DC. At time of market creation, he is threatening to send forces to Chicago, IL and Baltimore, MD among others. Will he follow through? What additional cities will he target during his current term? Justifications include, but are not limited to: protests or civil unrest, crime rates, border security, etc. and do not directly pertain to the market or it's resolution (see resolution criteria below).
Adding cities is allowed. Please specify city and state to avoid confusion (e.g. Portland, OR and Portland, ME).
Resolution criteria
Each answer is a specific U.S. city. It resolves YES if, before market close, U.S. personnel under federal command are deployed to operate within that city’s municipal boundaries.
Deployments limited to federal property inside the city still count.
Deployments must occur physically (orders alone don’t count). If troops arrive but are later withdrawn or enjoined by a court, it still resolves YES.
If a planned deployment is blocked before arrival, resolve NO.
Exclusions: state-controlled Guard (Title 32 or State Active Duty) without federalization; routine base activities, training exercises, overflights or simple transit.
Exclusions: deployments consisting solely of civilian federal law enforcement (e.g., DHS, DOJ) conducting workplace or other targeted raids without military troops without a broader plan to occupy, patrol or surveil the larger metro area.
Exclusions: deployments to for disaster relief e.g. from a hurricane, wildfire, tornado, flood, winter storm, etc. count only if a specific city is the target. If forces being deployed to all impacted areas that transit through or maintain a presence in a city as part of larger disaster response do not count.
Evidence required for YES: one official source naming the city (DoD Newsroom, National Guard Bureau, or White House) OR two independent, reputable outlets citing officials and naming the city; governor/mayor statements or court filings acknowledging the deployment also qualify. Example source hubs: DoD releases (defense.gov/Newsroom/Releases), National Guard Bureau news (nationalguard.mil/News), White House actions (whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/). Legal authorities: 10 U.S.C. §12406; 10 U.S.C. ch. 13 (Insurrection Act); 18 U.S.C. §1385 (Posse Comitatus). (nationalguard.mil, whitehouse.gov, law.cornell.edu)
Verification: Prefer official postings (DoD/NGB/White House) or court documents; if relying on media, use outlets like AP/Reuters/Washington Post that explicitly name the city and cite officials. Examples documenting current disputes: AP/WaPo on the D.C. lawsuit; WaPo on the LA ruling. (apnews.com, washingtonpost.com)
