Yes, confirmed via Politico’s exclusive today. An Oct. 29 memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorizes the D.C. National Guard to operate boats, Humvees, light medium tactical vehicles, and dozens of marked police cars on streets and waterways through year-end. They support police drug and gang operations (e.g., perimeter security in Anacostia) but cannot arrest or pursue suspects; federal officers must be aboard boats for any arrests.
