National Guard footprint in Washington grows midweek

The White House said a “significantly higher” National Guard presence would deploy across Washington on Wednesday evening. Officials described the mission as logistical and supportive rather than arrest-focused. Guard vehicles were seen near monuments as part of a 24/7 posture shift. The operation follows days of joint patrols by federal and local agencies. City leaders continue to question necessity given recent declines in violent crime. Residents are bracing for a longer period of visible federal security around key sites.
