As DC residents wrestle with a mix of emotions over President Trump’s federal takeover, we drill down on what the actions are likely to mean for those who live, work, and play in DC. From the likelihood of National Guard troops patrolling city streets to efforts to move homeless encampments out of sight, how will these efforts really work? Who will be helped or hurt? We attempt to sort through the data and politics.

Some of the 800 National Guard members deployed by President Trump are now in place readyto begin patrolling DC Streets. But the exact plan and scope of how that will all work out is not totally clear.
