D.C. sues Trump administration over 'illegal deployment' of National Guard in Washington
- The District of Columbia sued President Donald Trump on Thursday to stop his deployment of hundreds of National Guard troops in Washington during law enforcement operations.
- The lawsuit alleges the deployment violates the US Constitution, the Home Rule Act of 1973, and constitutes illegal military use without local consent.
- Attorney General Brian Schwalb described the troop deployment as an involuntary military occupation that threatens the city’s autonomy and economy amid federal agents arresting suspected illegal aliens.
- More than 1,000 troops arrived starting August 11 to "clean up" the district, with Trump asserting the operation combats crime, while a federal judge previously ruled a similar Los Angeles deployment illegal.
- The suit aims to end what D.C. calls illegal federal overreach, signaling ongoing tensions over federal control in the capital and possible broader federal interventions in other Democratic cities.
