Indivisible West Alabama To Protest Trump's Use Of National Guard In D.C.
The extension supports ongoing efforts to reduce crime with 1,841 arrests and 188 illegal firearms seized since August, ensuring uninterrupted pay and benefits for nearly 950 Guard members.
- On Wednesday, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll signed off on extending orders for the D.C. National Guard through Nov. 30, keeping troops deployed in Washington, D.C.
- The extension was tied to the administration's effort to continue supporting President Donald Trump's ongoing efforts to restore law and order in the District of Columbia following the D.C. National Guard deployment that began on Aug. 11.
- Instead of reupping every 14 to 29 days, the new orders let D.C. National Guard troops plan beyond typical renewals, preventing gaps in pay or benefits.
- On Thursday, District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb sued, alleging the deployment of nearly 2,300 National Guard troops under Department of Defense command and U.S. Marshals Service deputization is an "illegal deployment" and "involuntary military occupation" exceeding presidential authority.
- Public pushback has already emerged with events like the 'We Are All D.C.' protest on Saturday, and state governors including Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine visit D.C. National Guard members amid talks to expand the model to Chicago and Baltimore.
