Congressman Ivey Provides Statement on President Trump Calling National Guard

Congressman Glenn Ivey provided the following statement in response to President Trump calling in the National Guard for an assault on a former DOGE employee.

On January 6, rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol and assaulted the police while Trump stalled on calling in the National Guard. Now, when a former DOGE staffer is assaulted, he suddenly scrambles to call in the Guard and even tries to federalize local police. This is not about public safety. Crime is down in DC. It‘s a desperate attempt to distract from the Epstein files and yet another unprecedented and dangerous misuse of our military.
