On Friday, Trump talked about his controversial deployment of the National Guard to Washington, D.C., and said Chicago and New York City would be next. He has described the deployment in the nation’s capital as a bid to clean up crime, but critics dismiss the move as little more than political overreach.

As of Sunday night, National Guard troops operating in Washington, D.C., are now armed, according to a defense official. This will apply to the more than 2,200 guardsmen from D.C. and other states that are now serving in the mission in D.C.
