President Trump's 30-day federal control of D.C. police ended Sept. 10, but over 2,300 National Guard and federal officers will remain deployed through November to maintain security.

- This came after a 30-day intensified response beginning August 7, which included a larger presence of national security agents and military personnel, scheduled to conclude on September 10.

- Mayor Muriel Bowser stated the emergency’s end does not signal unrest, affirmed continued federal partnerships, and warned that the GOP bills could make DC less safe and reduce resident influence.
