The Trump administration late on Nov. 25 appealed a federal district judge’s ruling requiring the government to end its deployment of National Guard troops in the nation’s capital.

President Donald Trump had said the troops were needed to deal with crime and violence in the District of Columbia and support federal immigration law enforcement efforts there.
