On the 11th (local time), a Department of Defense official told The New York Times (NYT) that, following President Donald Trump's order to strongly respond to crime in Washington, D.C., preparations have been made to deploy the National Guard. According to this official, several hundred troops stationed in Washington, D.C., will be deployed as National Guard units for this effort.

President Trump wrote on Truth Social, his social network, "Washington, D.C. will be liberated today," adding, "Crime, savagery, filth, and human trash will disappear."

He continued, "The era of ruthlessly killing or harming innocent people is over. I promptly secured the border (through measures against illegal immigrants), and next is Washington, D.C.," he added.
