National Guard Deployment Increases in Washington, D.C.

  • Governors from six Republican-led states are sending over 1,100 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., to aid in fighting violent crime, as part of President Donald Trump’s plan.
  • On August 11, Trump announced a federal takeover of the D.C. police force and deployment of 800 National Guard members amid claims of a crime emergency, despite declining crime rates in the capital.
  • The recent deployment follows Trump’s earlier decision to send thousands of troops to Los Angeles for protests related to immigration policies.
  • Legal experts have raised concerns that these deployments may violate the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which restricts military involvement in civilian law enforcement.
