Vice President JD Vance offers National Guard deployment to Detroit, citing crime concerns

Vice President JD Vance proposed deploying the National Guard to Detroit to address crime concerns, similar to actions taken in Memphis by the Trump administration. Vance made this offer to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer during a visit to a Howell stamping facility. Detroit officials, including Mayor Mike Duggan's spokesperson John Roach, disputed the necessity of such a deployment, citing significant declines in crime due to effective existing partnerships. Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel criticized the proposal as unconstitutional and an embarrassment.
