Trump Extends National Guard Deployment in D.C. Until 2029

The National Guard's deployment in D.C. will last until Inauguration Day 2029, costing over $3 million daily.
Troop numbers have surged to nearly 5,000, with little impact on violent crime according to recent studies.
Local D.C. leaders oppose the deployment, citing a lack of local approval and rising anti-guard sentiment.
