Appeals court will hear arguments on Trump's National Guard deployment in the nation's capital

A federal appeals court is scheduled to hear oral arguments this Wednesday regarding the continued presence of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. The legal proceedings come more than 14 months after the deployment began, with the court tasked with determining whether the troops should be withdrawn from the nation's capital.

The case centers on the ongoing deployment initiated during the Trump administration. The court's decision will address the legality or necessity of maintaining this military presence in a civilian urban environment after more than a year of active patrol.
