The D.C. National Guard's federal control structure gives President Trump direct authority to deploy troops, differentiating it from other states' Guard units.

Brown, who played a very brief stint with the Patriot's in 2019, is wanted in connection to a shooting outside a boxing club in Miami last month.

The original judge in the case ruled that Trump's deployment of the Guard was illegal, violating the 10th Amendment and exceeding Trump's authority.
