The deployment of National Guard troops in Washington D.C. had become a familiar sight, but a shocking turn of events has brought the issue to a head. Last week, a federal judge ruled that the Guard's presence in the city was unlawful, citing multiple violations of existing laws. The court's decision came after a lawsuit filed by the city's attorney general, Brian Schwalb, who argued that the deployment was unconstitutional. Just days after the ruling, two members of the National Guard were shot, highlighting the tensions surrounding the Guard's role in the city. The incident has reignited debates about the Guard's presence in D.C. and the need for greater oversight and accountability.
