📍 Washington D.C., August 11 — President Donald Trump is weighing the deployment of up to 1,000 National Guard troops in the U.S. capital as part of a sweeping initiative to make the city “safer and more beautiful.” The move comes amid rising concerns over crime and homelessness, with the administration promising immediate relocation of unhoused individuals “far from the capital”.

While no final decision has been announced, officials say the plan may be unveiled later today. The proposal has sparked debate over federal authority and coordination with local law enforcement, which reportedly has not been consulted.

This development follows a broader set of federal actions, including the dispatch of 120 FBI agents to D.C. as part of a nationwide crime crackdown.
