Armed troops patrol Washington, DC
Armed National Guard troops patrol the Washington Monument at sunset as the Capitol stands in the background, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on August 26, 2025. US. President Donald Trump cited the false claim that violent crime is at an all-time high in the nation's capital to justify deployment, but critics claim the troops are in high-profile tourist areas where crime is highly unlikely. Violent crime in D.C. has dropped 26% in 2025, reaching a 30-year low. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
