West Virginia sends National Guard to DC at Trump team’s request

Members of the West Virginia National Guard will be deployed the streets of the nation’s capital as part of the Trump administration’s effort to overhaul policing in the District of Columbia through a federal crackdown on crime and homelessness.

Gov. Patrick Morrisey, R-W.Va., announced Saturday that he was sending 300 to 400 members of his state’s National Guard to nearby Washington at the Republican administration’s request. They will arrive in the District of Columbia along with equipment and specialized training services, his office said in a statement.

“West Virginia is proud to stand with President Trump in his effort to restore pride and beauty to our nation’s capital,” Morrisey said. “The men and women of our National Guard represent the best of our state, and this mission reflects our shared commitment to a strong and secure America.”
