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 Mississippi National Guard will deploy 200 troops to D.C. as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing federal policing efforts in the nation’s capital.

Hundreds more National Guard troops are expected to arrive in Washington, D.C., in the coming days, with at least four Republican-led states offering to send additional soldiers to join the 800 D.C. National Guard troops already activated by President Donald Trump, according to the states' governors.
