Trump dispute over National Guard crime study

Overview

President Donald Trump has threatened legal action against the Center for American Progress (CAP) following a report on National Guard deployments in U.S. cities. The CAP study, which examined the impact of $1.7 billion in deployments, concluded there was “no compelling evidence” that the presence of the National Guard measurably reduced violent crime, noting that many cities experienced crime declines prior to troop arrivals.

Trump criticized the report on Truth Social, calling it a “Radical Left SCAM” and targeting the organization’s funders.

Data regarding crime in Washington, D.C., remains multifaceted. While the Council on Criminal Justice reported significant decreases in homicides and carjackings during the first half of 2026 compared to 2025, other metrics showed increases, including a 45% rise in aggravated assaults and a 13% increase in gun assaults.
