By Tim Reid WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Hundreds of National Guard soldiers in military fatigues and combat boots mingled with tourists, posed for selfies, and treated themselves to ice cream from food trucks on Thursday along Washington's National Mall,

The American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday sued Gov. Patrick Morrisey (R-WV) for deploying the state’s National Guard to Washington, D.C. Morrisey was one of several red-state governors to send National Guard troops to the capital to supplement President Donald Trump’s crackdown on crime in Washington,

Trump said on Friday that Chicago will "probably" be the next city to which the administration will deploy federal troops, officers and agents.

President Donald Trump has expanded his law-enforcement crackdown in Washington, D.C., with top officials visiting National Guard troops at the city's main railroad station.

Vice President JD Vance says National Guard troops are making substantial progress tackling crime in Washington, D.C., and suggests their mission may extend beyond 30 days.
