US National Guard troops and federal law enforcement officers have been deployed to Washington, DC, following President Donald Trump’s order, citing rising crime. Armored vehicles and barricades appeared in city centers. Mayor Muriel Bowser called the move “authoritarian,” denying crime was out of control. Around 800 National Guard troops and 500 federal officers are expected to assist local police with logistics and support. Trump’s control of the DC police lasts 30 days, after which Congress must decide.
