Republican-led states including West Virginia, South Carolina, Ohio, Mississippi, and Louisiana have deployed hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., to support President Donald Trump's federal crackdown on crime and disorder in the nation's capital. The initial deployment included 400 troops from West Virginia, 200 from South Carolina, and 150 from Ohio. Mississippi later sent 200 troops, and Louisiana contributed approximately 135 troops. These reinforcements join about 800 National Guard members already activated in the city as part of the Trump administration's effort to overhaul policing and address what the administration describes as rampant crime and a loss of public order in Washington, D.C. Additional Republican governors from Tennessee and Virginia have also authorized sending troops, further bolstering the federal operation. The National Guard members are expected to assist in policing and prosecutorial roles as part of the administration's expanded federal presence in the capital.
