National Guard Troops visit Washington
Some 800 National Guard soldiers to be deployed in Washington started coming to the city on Tuesday.
The National Guard Headquarters saw a stable stream of uniformed soldiers, which supplied supply of ammunition and ready-to-Eat food.
President Donald Trump justified Washington’s deployment by labeling a “lawless city”, very little to support that claim.
A report by the Department of Justice showed that violent crime in Washington was 35% less since 2023.
