During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, U.S. Senator Gary Peters (MI) pressed Department of Defense (DOD) officials on the rationale, cost, and local impact of carrying out President Trump’s orders to deploy the National Guard to American cities, including Washington, D.C. Peters pressed Mark R. Ditlevson, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Americas Security Affairs, on how the Administration has spent more than $410 million in taxpayer money on the National Guard deployments, rather than invest those funds in local law enforcement.
