US President Donald Trump is anticipated to activate hundreds of National Guard personnel to be stationed in Washington, DC. This information was reported by Reuters on Monday, citing unnamed officials involved in the decision-making process.
Officials speaking on condition of anonymity revealed that the final count of troops and their exact duties are yet to be determined. The plans remain flexible as authorities assess what is needed on the ground.
According to one official, while the specific tasks for the National Guard members are not yet fixed, they may be assigned to protect federal agents. Additionally, they might perform administrative duties to free up police and other law enforcement officials for frontline work.
