Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has approved the deployment of approximately 200 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., citing concerns over rising crime in the capital. This move adds Mississippi as one of several Republican-led states sending National Guard forces to Washington, D.C. Recently, Louisiana became the sixth GOP-led state to authorize troop deployments to the city. These deployments are part of a broader initiative aligned with former President Donald Trump's plan to increase military presence in the capital.
