Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser said Monday she did not agree with deploying the National Guard from various Republican-led states to the district.

National Guard troops currently in the district. This brings the total to 1,700 National Guard members, set to be on duty in Washington, D.C., after President Donald Trump federalized the local police department and sent hundreds of federal law enforcement agents to the district.
