Since August 11, President Donald Trump's "Safe and Beautiful" plan has pulled more than 2,000 National Guard troops into Washington, D.C.—a visible show of force to deter crime and signal federal control. A U.S. district court judge ruled on November 20 that the deployment is unlawful and ordered that it end, but stayed that order for 21 days. Trump's lawyers have argued his National Guard powers are "unreviewable."
