DC takeover live: National Guard hit streets of Washington as mayor attacks Trump's ‘authoritarian push'
The National Guard were deployed on the streets of Washington, D.C., on Tuesday night as part of President Donald Trump 's promise to make the capital the safest city in the world. The operation came after 850 federal agents and federalized Metropolitan Police went out on patrol the night before. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a briefing that those officers 'made a total of 23 arrests,' adding: 'These arrests consisted of homicide, firearms offenses, possession with intent to distribute narcotics, fair evasion, lewd acts, stalking, possession of a high capacity magazine... driving under the influence, reckless driving, and a bench warrant.' Democrats have lambasted Trump for seizing control of the city's police force, rejecting his insistence that street crime is 'out of control' given that data for the last two years shows a steep decline. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser decried Trump's measures as an 'authoritarian push' on Tuesday and urged the local community to 'jump in' to 'protect our home rule.' The president introduced his plan on Monday by declaring the capital was in need of 'liberation' from 'violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people.'

National Guard troops carry out first patrol of DC
The District of Columbia National Guard commenced operations in Washington, DC, on Tuesday as part of President Donald Trump 's anti-crime initiative. Around 800 Guard personnel have been called to the capital, despite municipal data indicating a decrease in crime figures compared to the previous year. Activated under Title 32, the troops are not expected to be involved in arrests, and their deployment is scheduled to conclude on 25 September. This Guard deployment complements the "DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force," which includes federal agents and DC police officers now under federal control, leading to 23 arrests on Monday night. President Trump has indicated a desire to deploy similar National Guard operations to other Democrat-led cities, though he faces significant legal hurdles outside of Washington, DC.
