Six Republican governors are sending troops to Washington, D.C., despite the fact that crime rates are higher in their own states.

The number of National Guard troops patrolling Washington, D.C., will more than double in the coming days after Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina and West Virginia in the past several days committed troops to President Trump’s federal takeover of the city.

Deployments by troops from Ohio, South Carolina and West Virginia will nearly double the force that Trump has deployed amid a crackdown on crime.

The deployments come as Trump has requested the support of state National Guard troops for the effort, with Republican-led states quick to answer his call.

In a trial over the legality of the President’s deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles, there may be a definitive answer to where his power ends.

The governors of Ohio, Mississippi, South Carolina and West Virginia agreed to send National Guard troops from their states to aid President Trump’s takeover of Washington, D.C.

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.

President Donald Trump slammed Maryland Gov. Wes Moore from the Oval Office on Thursday. The governor responded in a social media video, as a clash continues about the use of the National Guard.
