US EditionNational Guard members deployed by Trump start arriving in DC
About 800 National Guard soldiers are providing logistical and physical support to local law enforcement under a federal plan to address violent crime in the city, officials said.
- Some of the 800 National Guard members began arriving in Washington, D.C., as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said it would take time for all troops to deploy, supporting law enforcement efforts.
- President Donald Trump ordered Guard deployment under Title 32, with Attorney General Pam Bondi stating, `Let me be crystal clear, crime in DC is ending and it's ending today.`
- White House officials said about 800 Guard troops will provide a `physical presence`, while roughly 850 federal law enforcement officers arrested 23 people overnight.
- Democratic mayors warned the deployment raises civil-liberties concerns and could set a precedent for federal intervention in other cities, while Mayor Muriel Bowser pledged to maintain local command.
- Joseph Nunn noted that federalization of state Guard units remains subject to the Posse Comitatus Act, and extending control beyond 30 days would require Congressional approval.
