Three Republican-led sates said on Saturday that they were deploying hundreds of National Guard members to the nation’s capital in an effort to bolster the Trump administration’s initiative of overhauling policing in Washington through a federal crackdown on crime and homelessness.
West Virginia said it will be deploying between 300 to 400 Guard troops. South Carolina pledged 200, while Ohio says it send 150 in the coming days, marking a significant escalation of the federal intervention.
