Armed troops patrol Washington, DC
National Guard troops patrol the National Mall with rifles, 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 little crime occurs. Violent crime in D.C. has dropped 26% in 2025, reaching a 30-year low. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
