The Republican governors of West Virginia, South Carolina and Ohio announced Saturday they will send National Guard troops to Washington, DC, in an escalation of President Donald Trump’s efforts to federally take over law enforcement in the city.

The moves come as federal agents and National Guard troops have begun to appear across the heavily Democratic city after President Trump's executive order.

Virginia Gov. Youngkin says the National Guard will deploy as part of the Virginia Homeland Security Task Force, focusing on support, not street patrols.

West Virginia is sending 300 to 400 members of its National Guard to the nation’s capital to assist in the Trump’s administration’s takeover of the city’s police department.

The Trump administration won't take control of the Washington police force, but more military personnel are being deployed there to ensure safety for all.
