Heads up, folks! On Monday, President Trump dropped a bombshell at the White House: he’s deploying National Guard troops to Washington DC and putting the local police force under federal control to tackle rising crime. 🔥
"This is Liberation Day in DC, and we're going to take our capital back," he said.
If you’re wondering what the National Guard is, think of it as the military’s reserve team – they usually help out after natural disasters or big events, but they can be called in when things get rough.
Switching the city’s police under federal command means the President can now give direct orders to local officers, which has sparked debates about balancing safety and civil rights. It’s a big move that has people talking from New York to New Delhi. 🤔
As this story unfolds, keep an eye on how DC residents and politicians react – and how it might shape conversations around public safety and government power worldwide.
