The US Military is preparing to activate hundreds of National Guard Troops to Washington as part of the orders from US President Donald Trump.
This is part of the president’s big plans to conduct a sweeping federal crackdown on matters linked to crime in the nation’s capital as per authorities.
Trump is yet to make the final decision about the activation of federal troops, but the National Guard is readying to deploy them, two US officials familiar with the knowledge of the operation shared with Reuters.
The preparation comes as 120 FBI agents from around the nation begin patrolling the streets of DC overnight and backing up areas known as hotspots for carjacking. This is despite the fact that many lack local patrol work training, the Washington Post shared.
‘Be prepared!’- Trump mentioned by warning that there will be no more Mr. Nice Guy behavior on the streets as he seeks to get the US capital back.
Trump mentioned this news through a post shared on Truth Social ahead of the planned White House press conference on Monday morning. This has to do with the city’s cleanliness and general conditions.
