Shreveport Mayor Adrian Perkins clarified claims Wednesday that the city would not provide security assistance for President Trump's visit to Bossier City on Thursday. The mayor now says that some Shreveport first responders will be used. But that came after several officials confirmed to KTBS that Shreveport police and fire personnel were pulled off of the rally. Wednesday afternoon, the mayor called a 2:15 p.m. news conference to clarify the city's position. Three Shreveport City Council members had asked Mayor Perkins to rescind an order prohibiting Shreveport police and firefighters from providing assistance for President Donald Trump’s visit Thursday in Bossier City. In a letter released in conjunction with the news conference, Perkins said he was "alarmed" that City Council members are "politicizing" the city's support of the president's visit.
