On August 27th, 2023, President Trump authorized the deployment of federal law enforcement agencies, including members of the Washington D.C. police force, to the capital city. This action involved National Guard troops and a significant increase in personnel. The directive was implemented in response to a reported incident involving a group of individuals attempting to storm the White House. Law enforcement officials are assessing the potential impact of this deployment on ongoing investigations and the management of caseloads within the Washington D.C. area. The objective is to ensure public safety and security in the capital region.
