联邦上诉法院开庭审理华盛顿国民警卫队部署合法性 判决何时出炉尚无时间表
联邦上诉法院三名法官组成的合议庭日前开庭，审理特朗普政府在华盛顿特区部署国民警卫队的合法性之争，裁决何时出炉没有明确时间表。庭审结束后，华盛顿特区总检察长布赖恩·施瓦布走出法庭，向记者重申反对外州部队继续驻留首都街头。
施瓦布表示，一年多来，数千名来自其他州的国民警卫队队员在华盛顿街头巡逻，他们出现在学校附近、居民社区，也出现在选举投票箱旁，引发市民的疑虑和不安。他在庭上特别提到一段在网上疯传的视频：国民警卫队队员紧贴着为中期选举设置的邮寄选票投递箱站岗。华盛顿特区选举委员会已正式要求国民警卫队在大选日之前，与所有投票箱保持至少 50英尺距离，以免军事存在被误读为对选民的威慑。
国民警卫队部署引发的紧张气氛也蔓延到社区街头。本周三，一些居民与特区议会议员布鲁克·平托一起，在东南区巴德小学外举行抗议，反对国民警卫队在学校周边活动。当晚，附近居民还就此举行了一场社区听证会。
特朗普政府方面则强调，自部署开始以来，华盛顿暴力犯罪显著下降，市长此前也承认了这一变化。政府律师还列举了国民警卫队过往支援救灾和疫情防控的先例，主张此次部署有据可依。目前，华盛顿的国民警卫队部署官司仍在法律程序中推进。
Appeals Court Hears Challenge to National Guard Deployment in D.C.; No Timetable for a Ruling
A three-judge panel of the federal appeals court has heard arguments over the legality of the Trump administration's National Guard deployment in Washington, D.C., with no clear timetable for a decision. After the hearing, D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb stepped outside the courthouse and reiterated to reporters his opposition to out-of-state troops remaining on the capital's streets.
Schwalb said that for more than a year, thousands of National Guard members from other states have patrolled Washington's streets, appearing near schools, in residential neighborhoods and beside ballot drop boxes, stirring public unease. In court he cited a viral video of Guard members standing immediately next to a mail ballot drop box set up for the midterm elections. The D.C. Board of Elections has formally asked the Guard to keep at least 50 feet from all drop boxes before Election Day so a military presence is not read as voter intimidation.
The deployment tensions have also spilled into neighborhood streets. On Wednesday, residents joined D.C. Council member Brooke Pinto in a protest outside Barr Elementary School in the southeast against Guard activity around the school, and nearby residents held a community hearing on the issue that evening.
The Trump administration, for its part, stressed that violent crime in Washington has fallen markedly since the deployment began, a change the mayor previously acknowledged. Government lawyers also cited precedents of the Guard supporting disaster relief and pandemic response as grounds for the deployment. The D.C. Guard deployment case continues to work through the courts.
