## Resource

The National Guard in D.C. is stuck in a political tug-of-war, with troops stationed there for a mission tied to the president’s crime initiative—potentially until 2029—while some governors like Minnesota’s Tim Walz are pulling their units out early. The D.C. Council is rallying other states to follow suit, arguing the troops were meant for anniversary events, not long-term federal security, and that their presence is damaging the city’s image. Meanwhile, states like Georgia and Mississippi stand firm, backing the president’s plan. With over 5,100 troops on the ground, this isn’t just a logistical issue—it’s a high-stakes political chess match unfolding in real time.
