National Guard Troops Remain in Washington with No End in Sight

The National Guard has been deployed in Washington, D.C. for eight months, costing taxpayers over a million dollars a day without a clear end date.
Local officials are concerned about the impact of armed soldiers on elections, while the White House claims the deployment has reduced crime.
Court challenges against the deployment are ongoing, with local leaders pushing for greater autonomy and accountability in law enforcement.
