President Donald Trump plans to keep the National Guard deployed in Washington, D.C., until Inauguration Day 2029 in a move that constitutional experts and former military officers called a “major red flag.”
The president first deployed troops in August 2025 after declaring a “crime emergency,” even though violent crime was at a 30-year low.
The administration ended the emergency declaration a month later, but the troop presence continued. Over the past few weeks, the number of deployments doubled to nearly 5,000 as part of a law enforcement “summer surge,” NPR reported.
