Mississippi becomes fourth state to send National Guard troops to DC in expanding federal crackdown
Mississippi joins three other states sending National Guard troops to support a federal crackdown on crime and homelessness in Washington, DC, despite a 12% drop in homicides, officials said.
- On Aug. 18, Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves announced he approved deploying about 200 Mississippi National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., supporting President Trump's law-and-order efforts.
- It follows President Trump’s executive order declaring a `crime emergency` in D.C., mobilizing 800 National Guard members under Justice Department control.
- Joining Mississippi, West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey deployed 300 to 400 troops, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster pledged 200, and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine sent 150.
- Over the weekend, protesters in Washington, D.C., pushed back on federal and Guard forces as their presence increased.
- Unanswered questions remain as the Guard's role has been limited and the administration's order for local police to cooperate with federal agents contradicts local laws.
