US EditionThree Republican-led states to deploy National Guard troops to US capital
- On Monday, Governor Jeff Landry of Louisiana approved sending around 135 members of the state's National Guard to the nation's capital in response to a request from President Trump.
- This deployment followed a presidential memorandum on August 11 directing Guard mobilizations to restore law and order amid an escalating federal operation in the capital.
- This operation aligns with the Trump administration's broader effort to combat crime and bolster federal law enforcement, with several states—including Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina, Ohio, and West Virginia—also contributing troops.
- President Trump emphasized that the deployment is intended to enhance safety, citing Landry who noted that the nation’s capital represents the country’s dignity, beauty, and values, while the Pentagon mobilized around 800 National Guard troops to support security efforts.
- The deployments continue amid tensions with D.C. officials, with the mission’s duration remaining indefinite until the president decides that public safety and stability have been reestablished.
