Courts in Tennessee and West Virginia heard arguments Monday challenging the deployment of their states' National Guard troops to patrol the streets of Memphis and Washington, D.C., respectively, as part of President Donald Trump’s push to send the military into Democratic-run cities.

As most government activities remain shut down in Washington D.C. due to budget gridlock, the National Guard remains on patrol across the nation’s capital.

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has ordered 100 soldiers from the 142nd Field Artillery Brigade to be deployed to Washington D.C. to support the D.C. National Guard's civil security operations for a several-month mission.

The National Guard deployment in Washington, D.C., could be extended into the summer of 2026, according to a new court filing and emails of National Guard leaders

Military leaders have ordered the National Guard in every state to develop a “quick reaction force” of troops trained to deal with civil disturbances and riots that can be ready to deploy with just hours’ notice.

A video captured chaos unfolding in Washington, D.C.'s Navy Yard neighborhood on Halloween night, and police took five people into custody.

The Defense Department’s newly established “quick reaction force” within the National Guard is being readied for civil unrest missions in U.S. cities.

U.S. President Donald Trump has told U.S. troops he was prepared to send "more than the National Guard" into U.S. cities if needed, in the latest demonstration of his willingness to escalate a confrontation with Democratic-led local governments that oppose the deployments.
