Demand an investigation into the costs of Trump's troop deployments
Twelve U.S. Senators recently requested an independent assessment of the projected expense of deploying federalized National Guard units for “domestic security operations,” including the activation, deployment, compensation, and sustainment costs.
I urge the CBO to comply with this request and publicly disclose how much President Trump’s deployment of military personnel in U.S. communities is costing U.S. taxpayers.

Why is this important?
Just about every day, courts are determining that Trump’s domestic troop deployments are as illegal as they are unpopular.
Trump has been forced to scale back his attempted takeover time and time again, after a Tennessee judge blocked state National Guard deployments in Memphis, a federal judge ruled Trump’s DC deployment unlawful, a federal court ruled Trump’s use of soldiers in Los Angeles illegal, and the courts stalled deployments in Chicago and Portland.
But with his back against the wall, Trump is forging ahead. The latest? Plans to deploy troops to New Orleans before the end of the year. Now, we need to escalate our tactics to stop him.
With reports that nearly half a BILLION dollars has already been spent on domestic deployments, it’s time to uncover the truth about how many taxpayer dollars Trump has burned through to pay for this intimidation campaign.
Will you join members of Congress in pressuring the Congressional Budget Office to reveal the truth?
