This appears to be accurate. According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump deployed around 800 D.C. National Guard troops to the city and indicated he would consider calling in active-duty military forces if necessary. Additionally, PBS reports that Trump plans to remove homeless individuals from Washington, D.C. Reuters further reports that Trump has asked Congress to extend federal control of the city's police force beyond the initial 30-day period.

True
