I won’t claim to know anything for certain especially since these guardsmen have been made a symbol and an antagonistic presence that makes them a target. But I trust nothing, am skeptical if everything, and this was my first thought as well.

Trump orders Hegseth to deploy hundreds more National Guard troops to DC after shooting
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed that President Donald Trump had ordered him to deploy an additional 500 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., after two soldiers were shot on Wednesday.
"Myself and my team were notified that two National Guardsmen have been shot in Washington, D.C. critically wounded," Hegseth told reporters. "The shooter shot in a cowardly, dastardly act targeting the best of America, heroes willing to serve in Washington, D.C., serve for people they don't know and they've never met because they love their country, their capital, and their community."
"That will only stiffen our resolve," he insisted. "We will never back down. We will secure our capital. We will secure our cities."
"And that's why President Trump has asked me, and I will ask the Secretary of the Army to the National Guard, to add 500 additional troops, National Guardsmen, to Washington, D.C. This will only stiffen our resolve to ensure that we make Washington, D.C., safe and beautiful."

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

She went public with the abuse, and was deported the very next day.

They disappeared her so she couldn’t speak out.

ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
