flag Trump-era troop deployments to six cities cost $496M by Dec 2025, projected to reach $1.1B in 2026, sparking legal and cost concerns.

flag Federal troop deployments to six U.S. cities under the Trump administration have cost $496 million through December 2025, with projections of $1.1 billion in 2026, according to the Congressional Budget Office. flag The deployments, primarily in Washington, D.C., Memphis, and New Orleans, were justified as crime-fighting and federal protection measures but face legal challenges and criticism over constitutional authority, cost-effectiveness, and the restriction of National Guard troops from law enforcement duties. flag The CBO estimates monthly costs at $93 million, with each 1,000 troops costing $18–21 million. flag Some operations have been blocked by courts, and critics argue funds could better serve healthcare, education, and local policing.
