Appeals Court Allows Trump to Keep National Guard in DC

A US appeals court has temporarily paused a lower court’s order requiring President Trump’s administration to withdraw National Guard troops from Washington, DC. The decision allows the administration time to respond to the ruling by District Judge Jia Cobb, which mandated troop withdrawal by December 11. The Trump administration has deployed around 2,000 National Guard members for crime prevention, facing legal challenges in several cities. This ruling follows a recent shooting incident involving National Guard members near the White House.
