Three Republican-led states to deploy National Guard troops to US capital

West Virginia, South Carolina, and Ohio are sending over 650 National Guard troops to support federal policing and enforcement efforts under President Trump's directive, officials said.

  • On Saturday, three Republican-led states — West Virginia, South Carolina and Ohio — deployed hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., to support the federal crackdown.
  • Earlier this week, Trump federalized the D.C. police department and activated about 800 District of Columbia National Guard members, citing public order failure.
  • According to 7News, more than 700 military police and guardsmen from other states are being deployed to D.C., supplementing over 800 local Guard members deployed earlier this week.
  • Looking ahead, data undermine urgency claims as Justice Department figures show violent crime hit a 30-year low in 2024 in Washington.
