US National Guard Deployed by Trump Begins Armed Patrols in Washington
The US National Guard, deployed by former President Donald Trump to maintain "order" in Washington, has started carrying weapons, including automatic rifles and handguns, as tensions remain high in the capital.
Kokcha News Agency: The US National Guard, which was mobilized by former President Donald Trump to restore “order” in Washington, has begun carrying service weapons, including M4 automatic carbines and M17 handguns.
According to an American media report, these security forces are operating under rules that permit the use of force only as a last resort and in response to an immediate threat of death or serious bodily harm.
The deployment of armed National Guard troops comes amid ongoing tensions in Washington, where security remains a top concern following the January 6 Capitol riot.
The move has sparked debates over the role of military personnel in domestic law enforcement and the potential for escalation in civil unrest.
