District of Columbia National Guard troops who are deployed as part of President Donald Trump’s federal law enforcement intervention in the nation’s capital have had their orders extended through December, a National Guard official said.
The main purpose of the extension is to ensure that any D.C. Guard members out on the streets of Washington will continue to have uninterrupted benefits and pay for a mission that seems likely to persist for months, the official said.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media, said that while the extension doesn’t mean that all 950 D.C. Guard troops now deployed will serve until the end of December, it is a strong indication that their role is not winding down anytime soon.
Typically, Guard members need to be on active orders for more than 30 days to qualify for benefits like a housing allowance or health care, and issuing multiple extensions to those orders can sometimes cause interruptions.
National Guard members from Republican-led states also have been sent to Washington. How long those troops, who number 1,334, remain in the nation’s capital is up to their individual governors
A spokesperson for the joint task force overseeing all Guard troops deployed to Washington and the Pentagon directed questions about the extension to the White House. In response to questions, a White House official said Trump was committed to the long-term safety and security of Washington.

need a running tally board
how many lives saved
Unfortunately, I don’t see using the Guard as sustainable. These guys have other things to do and if they’re permanently locked into this task they’ll quit.
This is a political stunt. It’s an awesome stunt, but a stunt, nonetheless. The ultimate solution is electing people to office who prioritize citizens over noncitizens, and taxpayers over the “homeless.” Perhaps proving how Democratic policies are dangerous will result in this change. If so, this stunt will Live In Infamy.
If they arrest 5000 criminals and the courts let them back out, can you really say this is working. Give the city back to Maryland and just keep the downtown office area. like they did on the Virginia side.
It’s not a stunt...
“It’s not a stunt...”
It’s not something that can be sustained for very long without significant impact on the Guard.
Pres. Trump knows that.
It’s time for DC’s residents to step up to the plate.
To secure their elections, run candidates who love their city and our nation, and throw the current bums out.
And if the citizenry is smart, they’ll do it ASAP, while Pres. Trump has their back.
DC residents, there’s no time to waste.
“Pres. Trump knows that.
It’s time for DC’s residents to step up to the plate.”
I agree. Absolute brilliance on Trump’s part.
Being Black and kowtowing to the racist party line prohibits rational acceptance of the law
He’s giving the nation an opportunity that may not come again.
We need to seize it.
If we refuse, that’s on us.
If Deep State’s base still voted in lockstep with Deep State, then why does it have to steal their elections, hmmm...?
What is your definition of the Deep State?
It is the progressives who defrauded the election process. They easily accomplished the fraud from their City State enclaves that allowed them to win the states
This has been very successful but is not sustainable over the long term. Its going to get expensive and the National Guard was not set up for long term domestic deployment. And there are risks - if a Guard soldier kills someone, the Lib media is going to go insane. So there needs to be a transition plan.
People online have tracked National Guard units traveling regularly out of state, midweek, outside of what would be normal ‘training’, maybe even before the Wuhan Coup Flu.
That’s a sign that something has been happening outside of the eyes and ears of the American public.
I sort of expected this for DC starting on January 20, 2025, as DC is the Deep State and Swamp HQ that birthed the war against candidate Trump, then President Trump, in 2016/17.
That hive of scum of villainy is full of enemies foreign and domestic..
I wonder how much flack she's getting for not standing with Newscum and Pritzker.
