Overview
A US appeals court panel temporarily paused a lower court's order, allowing the Trump administration to continue its deployment of National Guard troops in Washington, DC.
The Trump administration had deployed over 2,000 National Guard troops to Washington, DC, as part of an anti-crime initiative.
This deployment was linked to broader crackdowns on crime and immigration in various Democratic-led cities across the country.
The appeals court's decision came after two West Virginia National Guard members were shot near the White House.
The DC Circuit Court granted the Trump administration's request to halt a judge's block on the deployment, ensuring the troops remain in place.
