President Donald Trump has ordered a federal takeover of the Washington, D.C. police department, deploying 800 National Guard members to assist with law enforcement and reduce crime in the city. Some of these troops began arriving in the capital on Tuesday as part of the administration's effort. West Virginia Governor Jim Justice announced that the state is sending approximately 300 to 400 National Guard personnel to Washington, D.C., providing mission-essential equipment and specialized training. This deployment is federally funded and intended to support the broader federal law enforcement operation in the city.
