President Donald Trump said he is still prepared to order National Guard troops to other American cities but that he wanted local officials to request his help.

The president’s comments follow his statements Friday when he raised the idea of using the Guard in Chicago, as he previously did in Los Angeles and currently is doing in Washington, D.C.

If Trump sends the National Guard into cities without the consent of governors, state leaders would be able to file court challenges, as California Governor Gavin Newsom did to block Trump from federalizing the National Guard to quell protests and riots over his immigration policy in Los Angeles earlier this summer, Banks said.
