George Washington University students walk out to protest National Guard deployment in Washington

D.C. Shadow Senator Ankit Jain speaks to students in front of George Washington University President Ellen Granberg's house after they walked out of classes to protest the deployment of armed National Guard troops in the nation’s capital, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on September 9, 2025. U.S. President Donald Trump justified the deployment by falsely claiming that violent crime is at an all-time in Washington, while it is actually at a 30-year low. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
