Tensions rise in Washington, DC, as President Donald Trump deploys over 2,200 National Guard troops from several Republican-led states to address rising crime. Protests erupted after federal agents searched a residence, coinciding with the Guard beginning to carry weapons. Trump suggested deploying troops to Baltimore, sparking a sharp response from Maryland Governor Wes Moore, who highlighted a 20% drop in homicides. The president also signalled plans to send troops to Chicago, which reported 573 homicides in 2024, down 8% from the previous year. Despite falling crime rates, Guard and federal forces remain on Washington, DC's streets, drawing sporadic protests. Watch to know more.
