National Guard Stays in D.C., Court Backs Trump's Power

A federal appeals court has upheld the National Guards deployment in Washington D.C., overturning a lower courts order. The panel suggested former President Trump might have special power to use the Guard in the capital. The deployment, which began in August, has been extended due to potential harm to service members and the presidents interest in protecting federal functions and property. The ruling comes after two Guard members were ambushed, leading to the deployment of additional troops. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story.
