Brian Schwalb, Washington DC's attorney general, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, accusing it of a "hostile takeover" of control over the capital's police force. Trump has announced the deployment of National Guard troops to combat crime, despite statistics showing a drop in violent crime. Schwalb is asking the court to declare that Trump overstepped his authority, arguing that his actions are illegal and affect the dignity of Washington residents. The White House defends the federal actions, saying they are justified by the emergency situation in the city.
