National Guard Troops At Union Station
National Guard troops speak with an Amtrak Police officer after 5 demonstrators gathered while they parked vehicles outside of Union Station in Washington, D.C. on August 15, 2025. Several days prior, President Donald Trump invoked section 740 of Washington, D.C.'s Home Rule Act of 1973, federalizing the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and deploying over 800 National Guard troops, citing crime-fighting reasons. (Photo by Bryan Dozier/NurPhoto)
