Washington, D.C., sued the Trump administration on Thursday over its deployment of National Guard troops in the capital, calling it an illegal and dangerous use of military force that violates the city’s autonomy and multiple federal statutes.

The 52-page complaint, filed in federal court by D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb (D), seeks to block President Donald Trump’s deployment of more than 2,000 troops, many from Republican-led states, who have been patrolling neighborhoods, conducting searches, and making arrests despite long-standing prohibitions on military policing.
