Trump Deploys National Guard to D.C., Sparking Debate Among Members of Congress | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Washington, D.C., is now under an emergency public safety order. President Trump is sending 800 National Guard members to assist in patrolling the city and clearing homeless encampments. The move has sparked a political debate among members of Congress. House Oversight Committee Chair Congressman James Comer issued a statement supporting President Trump's actions, saying Trump is rightly using executive power to take bold and necessary action to crack down on crime and restore law and order. But Democrats claim there is no public safety issue — and that the President’s deployment of the National Guard is simply a way to divert attention. Meanwhile, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called out President Trump for not showing the same urgency during the January 6th riot at the Capitol.
