Mark Messmer (R-IN) and Pete Stauber (R-MN) delivered hot breakfast to National Guard troops stationed across Washington, D.C. to thank them for their incredible work guarding the capital city as a component of President Trump\u2019s historic crackdown on out-of-control urban crime in America.\n\n\u201cIt was an honor to join my colleague Congressman Pete Stauber as we traveled throughout the city this morning to meet with and thank the National Guard troops stationed around the U.S. Capitol area,\u201d said Rep. Messmer. \u201cThese dedicated public servants are helping to return law and order to a place where the crime crisis had become uncontrollable. It was great to show my appreciation for the sacrifices these troops make every day keeping America safe. Hats off to President Trump for delivering a long-overdue solution to the crime crisis and for cleaning up our country\u2019s most dangerous communities!\u201d\n\nBACKGROUND:\n\nPresident Trump recognized that the deplorable crime crisis in Washington, D.C. was untenable and determined that too many citizens were being killed and living in fear in the capital city.\n\nIn declaring the crisis an emergency situation in his Executive Order (EO), the president used his authority to bring National Guard troops from around the country into the District of Columbia to work in concert with the local police force and restore law and order to the region. Remarkable change was immediately evident and the local citizenry and tourists visiting their nation\u2019s Capital are now able to walk safer streets.\n\nReps. Messmer and Stauber visited troops at their deployment hubs at the Union Station, Eastern Market, D.C. Waterfront, and Navy Yard metro stations.\n\nTo read more about how Rep. Messmer is working for Indiana\u2019s 8th Congressional District in the House of Representatives, click here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T15:07:37Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://messmer.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=186"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8152802474796772, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
