What is the National Guard doing in DC?
Columbia district is unique in the sense that it is controlled by the federal government, which means that the President has authority over the DC National Guard.
For now, the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says that the members of the guard will support the federal agents, as He did recently In Los Angeles, when he was brought out after protests against the Trump administration immigration policies to help federal property and personnel to implement policies.
This week the National Guard was activated under the title 32, which is under the control of the Governor of his state when he is under the control of the guard. Members of the DC guards have the right to arrest during the situation, but the defense officials say for now, the mission is focused on supporting law enforcement.
Hegseth said that the guard was formally mobilized on Monday morning and “will have to flow on the streets of Washington in the coming week”. When asked by Fox News’ Laura Ingraham later that day, whether guard soldiers would take American citizens into custody on American soil, Hegseth replied, “Under the title 32, those who are using the authority have a wide latitude. But they are not going to be involved in law enforcement tasks.”
He explained in detail how they can be used, saying, “You can help someone, interdicts, temporarily detained as we did in los angeles, and handed over the law enforcement.”
And Hegseth also said that the guard members in DC are going to be “active.”
“If you take an action or a shot on them, there would be a result,” he told Ingraham.
While living in the title 32 status, guard soldiers are not under the Pose Committess Act, which prevents the US Army from completing domestic law enforcement works.
Members of the DC guard deployed in the title 32 status in 2020, in response to the protest against the murder of George Floid, when the DC government requested additional manpower. He also deployed In response to the title 32 position Attack on capital after some delay on 6 January 2021.
How long can you be posted this time, there is not a last date for this. According to the executive order, the President signed on Monday, the deployment “will be effective” until the President “has been restored to the terms of law and order in the Colombia district” it does not determine.
Before they are sent to DC roads, service members will receive additional training on D-SSSCELION strategy and rules for use of force, according to defense officials.
Hegseth said at the White House on Monday that other states and other guards of other “special units” are ready to deploy DC if needed.

What is the President authorized by the control of DC police?
House rules act In 1973, DC’s elected government and structure formed to negotiate with the federal government.
Section 740 of the law says, “Whenever the President of the United States determines that special conditions of an emergency nature exist, which requires the use of a metropolitan police force for federal purposes, he can direct the mayor to provide him, and provide the mayor, the services of the metropolitan police force that the President can be essential and appropriate.”
According to White House Press Secretary Karolin Levit, under the order of the President, Drug Enforcement Administrator Terry Coal, Attorney General Palm Body and Mr. Trump are in charge of DC Police Operations under the supervision of Shri Trump. Coal has also been directed to work with DC Police Chief Pamela Smith.
The law gives the President 48 hours to inform the Congress leaders about their action, which was done by Mr. Trump on Monday. The President can remain under the control of the DC police for 30 days, unless the House and the Senate implement a joint proposal authorizing an extension.
Lewitt said the deployment would be re -obtained at the end of a period of 30 days.
According to the DC Police Union, the DC Police Department, including about 3,100 officers, has more than 800 vacancies. The Union, which is extremely important for the DC mayor and the city council, supports the federal acquisition of the force.
Who are the other federal law enforcement officers posted on DC roads?
Lewitt said on Tuesday that around 850 officers and federal agents sent 23 arrests and seized six illegal handguns on the roads on Monday overnight. He said that suspicious crimes include murder, firearm crime, careless driving and influence driving.
“This is only the beginning,” Levit said.
What members of the White House participate to the Law Enforcement Working Group of the Task Force in the entire operation, among them US Capital Police, Homeland Security Investigation, Federal Protection Service, The DEA, FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Agneyas, Agnayastra and Explosives, Us CECs and Explosives, US CHACRES, US MOS MERS MERS, US MASIR Sarvis Are. White House is usually not specifying which law enforcement institutions are demonstrating responsibilities.
Homeless people are being transferred
Lewitt said the US Park Police will continue to transfer homeless people from DC roads and suggest homeless shelters and mental health and addiction treatment centers, which they can go – or refuse to jail.
Prior to the announcement of Mr. Trump on Monday, the White House was already deploying federal law enforcement officers on the DC roads as a part of the effort to make the city cleaner and safe.
How are DC officials responding to federal acquisition
Attorney General Palm Bondi met DC Mayor Muril Boser on Tuesday, FBI Director, Head of US Marshal Service, DEA’s Coal and DCUS Attorney with Attorney Genin Piro. The Attorney General depicted the meeting as a “producer”.
But Busar called the President of DC Police “unstable and unprecedented”, although his criticism of Trump administration’s move has become largely silent.
The White House and Bossar have conflicting views about the series of command for DC police. Busar said on Tuesday that the President has the right to request the services of the police, but “Our organizational chart, how we trade, how we fund the police, how we make changes, no one has changed.” The scene struggles with Levit’s statement that the coal will be in charge of the police force, and will be maintained by the President and Attorney General.
DC Police Chief Pamela Smith said that the DC police already work daily with federal law enforcement, and said they feel that an increased attendance from the federal government could help.
“We know that we have to get illegal guns from our road. And if we have this influx or increased appearance, it is going to make our city even better,” Smith said.
Smith said, “I will not go to this point in the details of our operational plan, but you will see the Metropolitan Police Department working shoulder to shoulder with our federal partners so that we need around the city.”
