Most states with National Guard troops in DC plan to withdraw this fall

More than half the contributing states plan to withdraw National Guard troops by November after over 4,000 arrests in a campaign to reduce crime, officials said.

  • Most contributing states have announced plans to pull their National Guard forces later this fall, with five states accounting for more than 80% of out-of-state troops in Washington, D.C.
  • The National Guard was activated in August after President Donald Trump issued an emergency order over crime concerns, prompting legal pushback in Chicago, Portland, and from D.C.'s attorney general.
  • Official figures show more than 4,000 arrests since the campaign began while data indicate crime decreased during that period, and the Guard presence has unnerved D.C. residents despite no violent incidents reported.
  • The planned drawdown could relieve D.C. residents who say the deployment has become normalized, and South Carolina Guard plans to withdraw its remaining troops by the end of October.
  • Dates set for late October and November could still be extended, as Ohio, Georgia, Mississippi and West Virginia plan removals by Nov. 30, while the D.C. National Guard’s orders extend through December.
