President Donald Trump has deployed 800 National Guard members to Washington, D.C., as part of a federal initiative to take control of the city’s police department and reduce violent crime. The deployment began with roughly 400 troops arriving on Tuesday, with the full contingent expected by the end of the week. The operation, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, has resulted in over 100 arrests within six days, targeting murderers and gang members. The effort aims to restore safety and order in the nation's capital, which Trump described as facing out-of-control violent crime. The increased federal presence has also prompted protests from some Washington residents.
