Several troops to withdraw from D.C.

WASHINGTON (AP) — More than half the states contributing National Guard troops to President Trump’s federal law enforcement initiative in Washington, D.C. have set target dates for withdrawal later this fall. The dates, in late October and November, could be extended. The planned withdrawals suggest the federal law enforcement surge in the nation’s capital could be heading toward a drawdown or change in scope. Trump has taken his push to send the military to other American cities, including Chicago and Portland, which have pushed back with legal action. The National Guard was activated in D.C. in August after Trump issued an executive order proclaiming an emergency over crime concerns.
