US EditionNational Guard Troops From GOP-Led States Begin Arriving in DC as Part of Trump’s Crime Crackdown
The National Guard deployment follows an executive order citing concerns about crime and includes about 1,000 troops from five Republican-led states, officials said.
- Five Republican governors deployed about 1,000 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., on Monday to support President Trump's law enforcement effort.
- The deployment follows Trump's executive order to federalize the district's police amid concerns over crime and public safety.
- National Guard units from five states, including those in the Midwest and the South, will increase patrol efforts, although many troops will remain in safer, tourist-heavy parts of the city with limited operational duties.
- The White House reversed earlier orders by allowing some guardsmen to carry firearms, stating they protect federal assets and deter violent crime.
- D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser challenged Trump's claims, arguing the operation focuses on immigration enforcement, and called for more transparency about its true purpose.
