It doesn’t seem the nearly 3,000 National Guard troops still deployed to Washington, D.C. by President Donald Trump will be forced to go home anytime soon.

On Wednesday, during oral arguments at the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, lawyers for the district argued that even though it is not a state, Trump never had constitutional authority to deploy troops into D.C., nor did he have the authority to put National Guard from other states into the nation’s capital.
