President Joe Biden’s administration has denied a request for National Guard assistance from Washington’s mayor.

Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, made the request in July due to the surge in illegal immigrants the District of Columbia has seen since authorities in Texas and Arizona began offering free rides to the city for those freed by federal officials.
