Governors from six Republican-led states are sending hundreds of troops to Washington, DC, bolstering United States President Donald Trump’s aggressive move to flood the city with soldiers and federal agents in what he says is an effort to fight violent crime.
The move comes as the Trump administration this week ordered federal prosecutors in Washington, DC, to be more aggressive in pursuing criminal cases against people arrested as part of a crackdown in the nation’s capital, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.
