Vice President JD Vance says National Guard troops are making substantial progress tackling crime in Washington, D.C., and suggests their mission may extend beyond 30 days.

A National Guard vehicle collided with a civilian car near the U.S. Capitol as troops took positions around Washington during President Donald Trump's crackdown.

As Vice President JD Vance staged a lunch to thank the National Guard members that President Donald Trump has deployed to Washington, DC, he was frequently drowned out by protesters.

The main drag in Washington's Columbia Heights neighborhood is typically crammed with people peddling pupusas, fresh fruit, souvenirs and clothing. “Everything has stopped over the last week,” said Yassin Yahyaoui,

It was the first such action by the Guard since its deployment in Washington.

In New Mexico’s most populous city, National Guard troops are listening to the police dispatch calls, monitoring traffic cameras and helping to secure crime scene perimeters, tasks not usually part of the job.

The poll by progressive outfit Data for Progress also said only 11% of voters think President Donald Trump will limit National Guard deployment to DC.
