Democratic-led states face criticism for National Guard deployments to Washington during 250th anniversary celebrations.
National Guard deployments in Washington, D.C. increased to approximately 5,000 troops for the country's 250th anniversary celebrations, including contingents from Democratic-led states like Michigan and Minnesota. Activist groups have demanded these states withdraw their troops, arguing they are being used for the Trump administration's broader, ongoing deployment rather than just event security. Minnesota is withdrawing its contingent early, while Michigan faces pressure to do the same.
