National Guard patrols Washington, DC train station
A member of the DC National Guard stands next to an armored vehicle in front of Union Station, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on August 14, 2025. U.S. President Donald Trump announced the Guard deployment earlier in the week, claiming incorrectly that violent crime is at an all-time high in the capital city. Violent crime has dropped 26 percent in 2025, reaching a 30-year low. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
