D.C. Attorney General Sues Trump Over National Guard Military Occupation of Washington

District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb filed suit against the Trump administration challenging the deployment of National Guard troops in Washington D.C. as an unconstitutional military occupation. The lawsuit argued the deployment violated the District's quasi-state authority and the Posse Comitatus Act's restrictions on domestic military policing. Hundreds of Guard members had been operating as uniformed law enforcement in the District for weeks.
