Armed troops patrol Washington, DC
Armed National Guard troops patrol near the Washington Monument 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 National Guard deployment, but violent crime in D.C. has dropped 26% in 2025, to a 30-year low.
