White House touts arrests as National Guard deploys in Washington, D.C.

President Donald Trump has initiated a National Guard mobilization in Washington, D.C., deploying about 800 soldiers to assist law enforcement as part of a public safety emergency. This move, including federal control of D.C. police and efforts to remove criminals and homeless encampments, has sparked criticism from protesters and Congress members who view it as presidential overreach. Meanwhile, city officials acknowledge the federal support while emphasizing the need to protect the city's autonomy. Additionally, the Trump administration is preparing for a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with ongoing discussions regarding Ukraine's involvement in resolving the Russian assault.
