The Washington D.C. National Guard will be deployed to the nation’s capital through the end of February, according to formal orders reviewed by The Associated Press. The Nov. 4 order extends the original order from August and says Guard members will be in the city at least through Feb. 28. It states the additional duty is in response to President Donald Trump's emergency order in August under directions from the “Secretary of War to protect federal property and functions in the District of Columbia and to support federal and District law enforcement.” Hundreds of guard members remain in the city, patrolling public spaces and performing quality of life duties, including trash cleanup.
