PSA: The D.C. City Council sent letters to 10 governors whose National Guard members are serving in D.C., demanding that these brave men and women be removed from our nation's capital. This Department of Justice will not stand for these politically motivated demands. We will continue standing with @POTUS and the Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force to deliver historic results for the community—and for visitors from across the country and around the world to enjoy.

The Department of Justice is pushing back against the D.C. City Council's demand for the removal of National Guard members serving in the capital. The DOJ views these demands as politically motivated and reaffirms its commitment to supporting the Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force.
