National Guard deployment to DC will last through Trump's term

President Donald Trump's extension of National Guard deployment in Washington, D.C., will last until Jan. 20, 2029, or until terminated by him. The deployment, initially ordered in August 2025 for a declared crime emergency, has faced criticism over costs and effectiveness, with local officials arguing crime was already declining. A Guard member was fatally shot in November during the deployment.
