Trump's National Guard Deployment in Washington Shows Little Impact on Crime

President Donald Trump deployed thousands of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., as part of a major initiative to combat crime. The deployment was framed as an aggressive crackdown, particularly targeting cities under Democratic leadership. Despite the large military presence on the city's streets, the troops have rarely intervened in criminal activity. The initiative has raised questions about the effectiveness of using military personnel as a crime-fighting tool in urban areas.
