Summary
A federal appeals court heard arguments Wednesday over President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., which has continued for more than a year. A three-judge panel questioned whether the deployment could continue indefinitely and whether there are limits on a president's authority to call up the Guard in the capital. An administration attorney argued Trump has broad authority to do so. The District of Columbia is challenging the deployment.
