Honestly no one knows right now. All we can do is speculate.
After the Haiti earthquake soldiers were issued mags with live rounds but instructed not to put it in their weapon.
During Katrina most of the soldiers were walking around with empty mags.
During J6 none of the soliders were issued live rounds.
During the BLM protests many states did have their guardsmen walking around with live rounds.
I could see the DC guys walking around with live rounds in their mags, but I could also just as easily see there being no live ammo on anyone below staff sergeant. No commander wants their career killed just because one of their dumbass soldiers shot an American citizen.
After the Sept 11 2001 attacks, we’d be working “gate guard” with no weapons. Sometimes there would be an MP with us who would have a side arm and they may or may not have been issued with a magazine with some random amount of ammunition.

They issue firearms but no ammunition? America never ceases to amaze (bad)
Oh… oh yeah.
