WASHINGTON DC, US - SEPT. 9: Students at Howard University staged a walkout Tuesday, Sept. 9, to protest the deployment of National Guard troops in the US capital.

Trump declared a crime emergency in the capital on Aug. 11, ordering the federalization of the Metropolitan Police Department and deploying more than 2,000 troops, including reinforcements from Republican-led states.

His administration said the operation has led to nearly 2,000 arrests, the seizure of close to 200 firearms and the clearing of dozens of homeless encampments.

City officials, however, point to data, which Trump dismisses as false, showing that criminal activity had already been declining before the federal intervention, with violent crime and property crime both down compared to last year.
