The District of Columbia has initiated a lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging the deployment of the National Guard in the capital. The D.C. attorney general argues that this presence constitutes an unlawful military occupation, raising concerns about federal overreach and the implications for local governance. The lawsuit has drawn attention from various political figures, with some indicating it may exacerbate tensions between local and federal authorities. The move comes amid a backdrop of ongoing discussions about the role of the National Guard and its use in domestic affairs, with local activists voicing their concerns about state control and militarization in urban areas.
