US EditionVance and Hegseth Visit DC Guard Troops as Protests Denounce Federal Policing Move
- On August 20, 2025, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Stephen Miller, the White House’s Deputy Chief of Staff, visited National Guard personnel stationed at Union Station in Washington, D.C., during a federal initiative targeting crime in the capital.
- Their visit followed last week's Trump administration decision to place Washington, D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department under federal control and deploy about 1,900 National Guard troops to address alleged crime issues.
- During the visit, protesters shouted slogans like 'Free D.C.' and heckled the officials while Vance and Miller criticized the demonstrators as mostly elderly white protesters disconnected from the city's majority Black population.
- A Washington Post-Schar School poll of 604 D.C. residents found roughly 80% oppose the federal takeover and National Guard presence, with 61% of those noticing increased federal agents feeling "less safe."
- The federal officials pledged to add resources and improve public safety over the next 20 to 30 days, while critics question the timing given declining local crime statistics in recent years.
