And honest people know why: on August 11, 2025, President Trump declared a crime emergency in D.C. and directed significant federal resources to protect life and liberty in the Nation\u2019s capital. The results have been historic drops in violence.\u201d<\/p><p>Earlier this week NOTUS <span><u>reported<\/u><\/span> that local reactions to the Guard\u2019s continued deployment in D.C. have been mixed. Some residents say the troops are providing needed assistance and freeing local police up from menial tasks, while others say that having troops patrol the city\u2019s neighborhoods sets a troubling precedent and could put people at risk should Trump order a more aggressive posture.<\/p><p>And while crime has generally declined over the past two years, many experts say that the McDonald\u2019s argument that the National Guard is responsible mixes up causation and correlation. An <span><u>analysis by the Niskanen Center<\/u><\/span> found that the Guard\u2019s presence may have helped contribute to a 24% decrease in property crimes, while not having much impact on violent crime.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2496\">Trump\u2019s Claims About Combating Crime Are Based on Skewed Data<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Others say that the White House has <span><u>skewed data<\/u><\/span> to claim that its intervention with the National Guard has spurred declines in violent crime, even as cities across the U.S. were <span><u>seeing such decreases<\/u><\/span> before the president got involved. Historic drops in homicides and other violent crimes have <span><u>occurred in Baltimore<\/u><\/span>, just 40 miles north of D.C., without the same federal intervention D.C. has experienced.<\/p><p>Additionally, McDonald\u2019s claims aren\u2019t completely accurate. While homicides are down 33% from the same period last year, according to <span><u>data maintained by the Metropolitan Police Department<\/u><\/span>, overall violent crime is currently up 4% \u2014 driven largely by a 40% increase in assaults with a deadly weapon.<\/p><p>In their letters to the governors who have provided National Guard troops for the deployment in D.C., the council\u2019s 13 members raised concerns over the cost of the ongoing mission.<\/p><p>\u201cThe deployment has \u2026 cost American taxpayers more than $3 million per day, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Continuing this deployment despite the absence of a demonstrated violent-crime benefit would misuse both taxpayer dollars \u2013\u2014 in the billions, if maintained for years at its expanded scale \u2014 and the service of the Guard members themselves,\u201d they wrote. \u201c[W]asting those resources on an ineffective, indefinite deployment that neither District residents nor officials asked for is disrespectful to American taxpayers.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cIn addition, the continued presence of military personnel in the nation\u2019s capital through future election periods also risks normalizing the use of armed forces in and around spaces where residents vote, organize, protest, and participate in civic life. Whatever their stated mission, Guard personnel should not become a standing feature of the political and electoral landscape of the District,\u201d they added.<\/p><p>McDonald closed his letter to the council by repeating a request that other administration officials have made over the last year: \u201cYou should withdraw your letters and dedicate your remaining time in public service to correcting D.C.\u2019s laws to ensure criminals are punished and the public is protected \u2014 not the other way around.\u201d<br\/><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2490\">Rep.
