National Guard patrols Washington, DC train station
DC National Guard armored vehicles sit in front of Union Station at sunset, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on August 14, 2025. Trump announced the takeover earlier in the week, claiming incorrectly that violent crime is at an all-time high in the capital city. Violent has dropped 26 percent in 2025, reaching a 30-year low.
