the summer ahead of celebrations for America's 250th birthday, NPR's Cat-Lan store reports. There are currently a little over 2,500 national guard troops deployed in D.C. from dozens of states.
“The summer there will be 5,000 officials did not specify when that surge will begin or”
notably when it will end. The number of troops in D.C. started at 800 last August as part of an initiative by President Trump to crack down on crime and also immigration. More troops have slowly been added over time. National guard members in D.C. have been supporting law enforcement through highly visible

But there's a renewed effort in Congress to gradually raise the minimum wage to $25 an hour and PR's Andrea Xu explains the research behind this proposal. The bill was introduced by a group of House Democrats.
It would require large employers to pay at least $25 an hour by 2031 and small employers to hit that mark by 2038. That would bring the federal minimum wage to 2/3 of the national median wage, according to the Economic Policy Institute.
Researchers there found 40 million workers would see a pay raise, roughly a quarter of the
U.S. workforce. The current federal minimum wage has been frozen at 725 an hour since 2009, only about 1% of hourly workers in the U.S. are paid that due to state minimum wage laws and market forces. Still, researchers have found the low federal minimum depresses wages in places with less
