5. SENATOR EDWARD MARKEY SPEAKING TO REPORTER (English) WASHINGTON DC, US - SEPT. 9, 2025: Students at Georgetown University in Washington staged a walkout on Tuesday, Sept. 9, to protest the deployment of National Guard troops in the city.

Senator Edward Markey joined the demonstration and delivered a speech in support of the students.

During the protest, participants chanted slogans demanding the withdrawal of the National Guard from Washington.

On Aug. 11, Trump declared a “public safety emergency” in Washington, DC, to bolster security and reduce crime.

As part of the measures, the federal government took control of the city’s police operations and deployed National Guard troops.

The Department of Justice appointed Terry Cole, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, as the city’s “emergency police commissioner.”

The Pentagon later confirmed that 800 National Guard personnel had been deployed to the capital by Aug. 14.

Several US states, including West Virginia, South Carolina, and Ohio, also sent hundreds of National Guard troops under the emergency declaration.
