💨 Abstract
In August 2025, President Donald Trump deployed 800 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., citing "lawlessness," despite reports of declining violent crime. Local officials, including Mayor Muriel Bowser and DC Councilmember Charles Allen, criticized Trump's characterization of the city, stating it does not align with current conditions.
