Trump offers to send ‘troops’ to Baltimore
Responding to Maryland Gov. Wes Moore’s invitation to join Baltimore officials for a public safety walk, Trump threatened to send “troops” to the city.
“Governor Wes Moore of Maryland has asked, in a rather nasty and provocative tone, that I “walk the streets of Maryland” with him. I assume he is talking about out of control, Crime ridden, Baltimore?,” Trump wrote on his social media platform.
“Wes Moore’s record on Crime is a very bad one, unless he fudges his figures on crime like many of the other “Blue States” are doing. But if Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did in L.A., I will send in the “troops,” which is being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime,” Trump wrote.
On Thursday, Moore invited the president to join Baltimore officials on a public safety walk next month. In the letter, Moore highlights the action his state has taken to combat crime while also underscoring the federal cuts made by the Trump administration that have impacted the state.
“Even in the face of millions of dollars in cuts to federal funding for violence intervention and gun violence prevention under your administration -- including to programs directly credited with lowering rates of homicide and other violent crimes -- our state and local communities continue to invest in proven strategies that help us build safer, more vibrant neighborhoods,” Moore wrote to Trump.

The 15-page order from Judge William Orrick grants a preliminary injunction in the administration's effort to withhold funds and expands the number of cities that federal funds can't be withheld from due to their "sanctuary" status for undocumented immigrants.
The Trump administration has sought to strip the cities' Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grants due to their lack of cooperation with immigration authorities.
