President Trump's administration reportedly has a plan to deploy Louisiana National Guard troops to New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and other cities if Republican Governor Jeff Landry requests it.
The Washington Post reported the claim on Saturday.
Landry's office hasn't commented on the report, and hasn't said whether Landry has asked Trump to send the troops.
But when Trump suggested staging troops in New Orleans nearly two weeks ago, Landry issued a statement that was receptive of the idea.
