Have you ever been to DC? National Guard is literally constantly all over the city. The headlines are a bit sensationalized and even DC's mayor on MSNBC earlier today was cautiously optimistic about more law enforcement on the streets.

> "We did it in Washington" becomes the precedent.

The fact that Trump mobilized troops in LA to help with ICE raids was way more worrying, but they were withdrawn a week and a half ago by the Pentagon without much hullabaloo.



I lived in DC for 5 years. From 2011 to 2014 and 2019 to 2020. I saw _a lot_ of cops, of nearly every jurisdiction, but never a national guard member.
