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

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 earlier this week.

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.
