Number of states sending Guard troops to DC grows to 3

() President Donald Trump’s federal takeover of the Washington, D.C., police department was set to expire Wednesday as lawmakers considered several proposals to overhaul the district’s criminal justice system.

Congress has not announced any official plans to extend the 30-day takeover, which began in August after Trump declared a public safety emergency and vowed to curb crime in the area.

If or when the federal takeover expires, it would not impact the D.C. National Guard members stationed there, as the Army has already extended the deployment of troops through Nov. 30.

Trump’s order saw local police working alongside federal law enforcement in the nation’s capital, including with National Guard troops and federal immigration officers. The city has since sued the Trump administration over the deployment.

New data from Trump’s Department of Justice said more than 2,100 arrests were made as part of the D.C. operation, including 20 alleged gang members.

The House Oversight Committee was set to analyze several D.C.-specific proposals Wednesday, including one that calls for a 60-day review by Congress of all city council legislation.

Another pushes to lower the age of eligibility for juveniles to be tried as adults from 16 to 14 for certain violent crimes, and one would assert fines and or jail time for camping on public property.

The changes come as House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., backs Trump’s goals of expanding federal similar takeovers nationwide.

“These mayors in these big blue cities have to ask this question, and I think their voters and the residents and the law-abiding citizens in all these cities should be asking local leaders, ‘How long are you going to put up with this?'” Johnson said.

The shortlist of cities for ramped-up Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations and potential National Guard deployment includes New Orleans, Chicago and New York.
