A report by the Center for American Progress (CAP) claims that the deployment of the National Guard did not significantly affect crime rates, despite costing approximately $1.7 billion. The report, released on July 13, states that crime rates in cities without National Guard intervention decreased at similar rates to those with intervention. It also notes that violent crime began to decline before Trump's presidency in 2025. In response, Trump's lawyer sent a letter to CAP threatening a $5 billion lawsuit unless the organization retracts the report.
