D.C. Guard Deployment Paused, Trump's Authority Questioned
Update: 2025-12-05
Description
The U.S. Court of Appeals has temporarily halted the removal of National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., following a request from the Trump administration. This pause allows the court to further consider the case, which challenges the presidents authority to deploy the D.C. National Guard for general crime control without proper consent. The situation comes after a U.S. District Court judge ruled that President Trumps use of the National Guard overstepped local officials authority. The White House maintains that the president acted within his lawful authority. This development follows the tragic shooting of two West Virginia National Guard members near the White House, which led to the administrations call for an additional five hundred National Guard members to be deployed to Washington.
