Ainsley Earhardt spoke on Fox & Friend about Trump’s recently Washington, D.C. take over with the National Guard, begging for similar attention for New York City

Political commentator Ainsley Earhardt begged the president to seize some control over New York City after Donald Trump made a similar move in Washington, D.C.

The Fox & Friends co-host chatted with the panel about Trump’s recent move to send the National Guard into the nation’s capital, vowing to help deter crime in the city. MAGA claimed concern over the city’s state, but opponents slammed the move as a gross overstep in power.

Ainsely, however, would love that treatment in New York, where Fox News is based. She said, “Fine, you don’t want ’em? Send ’em to New York, please. Please, Donald Trump, send ’em here. Clean up these streets. I welcome it.”

As Trump continues to flex his muscles, especially after his recent military involvement in Los Angeles, city officials nationwide prepare for a possible similar move for their own home. In fact, Chicago could be the next target, and Ainsley doesn’t comprehend why they’d refuse help from the federal government.

She said, “I just don’t understand why they wouldn’t want to clean up these cities. I mean, D.C. needed to be cleaned up. It looks like it has been.”

After a full week of the National Guard’s presence, there was a reported drop in crime, according to date from the MPD. However, there was a bump in immigration-related arrests, too, amid Trump’s ongoing crusade against undocumented individuals through bolstering ICE.

Ainsley emphasized the impact of Trump’s domestic military-related move. “Ninety-three arrests on Saturday, and out of those, 46 were illegal aliens, and that’s in D.C. Fine, you don’t want ’em? Send ’em to New York, please. Please, Donald Trump, send ’em here. Clean up these streets. I welcome it,” she said.

While crime has decreased slightly, Trump has claimed a total victory over his efforts. “Just like our Southern Border is now 100% secure,” he wrote on Truth Social. Washington, D.C., is SAFE AGAIN, and we have just begun the process of revival.”

Before he turned his attention toward cities, Trump set off to continue his work on the southern border, an initiative he brought to the forefront of his policy changes during his first time in office. In February, he claimed there was a 95% drop in “illegal alien encounters” under Trump’s administration in a post on the White House’s Instagram page.

However, PBS has dubbed this data “misleading.” In a report, the outlet pointed out that “Using two different data points inflates the drop in illegal immigration under Trump.” Rather than a 95% decrease, they suggested a 60% decrease might be more likely accurate.

Further, they mentioned that illegal immigration was already on the decline before Trump was sworn into office. During Trump’s first presidency, and during most other times in history, illegal immigration rates were volatile. In fact, key factors such as weather might impact these rates.
