In Washington, a National Guard deployment has been extended until January 2029. This deployment was initially announced by President Donald Trump 12 months ago, in response to a declared crime emergency. The extension has raised concerns among residents and local officials, who question the necessity of having troops on the streets.

Some view this as an attempt to restrict the city's autonomy. Further details on the situation are available from KPRC 2 and Click2Houston, including reactions from local groups such as the ACLU of the District of Columbia.
