Protesters gathered in front of Baltimore’s City Hall Wednesday evening to push back against President Donald Trump doubling down on his threats to send the National Guard into the city.

At the same time, Mayor Bradon Scott said he and Gov. Wes Moore are in talks about what kind of legal action they can take against the federal government if Trump does deploy troops.

The responses stem from a Tuesday press conference in which Trump said he’d like to send National Guard troops into Baltimore, claiming it would reduce crime.
