Armed troops patrol Washington, DC
A U.S. Park Police car sits on the National Mall while local residents exercise and play team sports, both popular everyday occurrences, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on August 26, 2025. U.S. 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.
