Trump Sued Over Washington National Guard Troop Deployment

Washington officials have filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump over his deployment of thousands of National Guard troops in the nation's capital. The lawsuit escalates the ongoing local opposition to the administration's efforts to exercise greater control over Washington D.C.'s day-to-day operations. The lawsuit alleges that the Trump administration's deployment of the National Guard violates the principle of home rule, which grants Washington D.C. a degree of self-governance. Officials argue that the president's actions undermine the city's ability to manage its own affairs and respond to the needs of its residents. The lawsuit is the latest development in the ongoing tensions between the federal government and Washington D.C. authorities, who have previously clashed over issues such as the use of federal law enforcement and the handling of protests in the city. The outcome of the lawsuit could have significant implications for the balance of power between the federal government and the nation's capital.
