Armed troops patrol Washington, DC

Armed National Guard troops learn about the history of the Lincoln Memorial from a park ranger, 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)
