As the country prepares to celebrate America 250, several Democratic governors have deployed National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., marking the first instance since Trump sent troops to the area. The National Guard troop levels in D.C. have now surpassed 4,600, providing support for various events on the National Mall. The Guardsmen, including those from Nevada and North Dakota, are actively patrolling the streets and have intervened in incidents, such as an assault near Rhode Island Avenue. While some local leaders have suggested halting the troops’ presence, the overall deployment aims to ensure security and support during the festivities. Senior leaders are overseeing the operations and training of troops, as the nation gears up for a significant milestone in its history.
