Could Trump Send the National Guard to Pittsburgh?

City Cast Pittsburgh

About
President Trump's been sending — or threatening to send — National Guard troops to major cities all over the country, and it got us wondering where Pittsburgh might be on his long list. Should Pittsburgh (or Philadelphia) be worried? City Cast Pittsburgh’s Megan Harris and Mallory Falk talk about what’s happening, what’s legal, and whether Gov. Josh Shapiro’s big talk about being “prepared” could make us more of a target.
