Hundreds of National Guard troops to flood Washington, D.C., as Trump posts images of homeless from motorcade: 'We want our Capital BACK' | 10 Aug 2025 | Hundreds of National Guard troops were prepared to flood the streets of Washington, D.C., as President Donald Trump threatens a federal takeover of the capital. The move came as Trump blasted the crime and homelessness in D.C. while deploying 120 FBI agents to work alongside D.C. police and other federal law enforcement officers in the nation's capital. "The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital," Trump posted on Truth Social. "The Criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong." "Be prepared! There will be no 'MR. NICE GUY.' We want our Capital BACK." The president has likened his plans for D.C. as similar to his administration's aggressive crackdown against illegal immigration at the southern border.
