Trump Admin to Send Federal Border Agents to Charlotte, Sheriff Says

Republican narrative

Charlotte desperately needs federal intervention as murders in Uptown have skyrocketed 200% and violent crime has spiraled out of control. Eight homicides in seven days prove local leadership has failed to protect residents. National Guard deployments work, giving local police relief to focus on targeting the worst offenders. Washington, D.C., saw 12 consecutive days without homicides after Trump sent troops. Regardless of current numbers, crime should be far lower than it is.
