West Virginia Guard to Join Trump’s Crackdown on Crime in DC

The West Virginia National Guard is sending several hundred troops to Washington, D.C., to support the federal deployment ordered by President Donald Trump as part of his effort to crack down on crime in the nation's capital. The decision to deploy the West Virginia Guard comes as part of Trump's broader initiative to address the perceived issue of rising crime in the city. The deployment aims to provide additional security and law enforcement presence in the area, though the specific details of the Guard's role and the scope of their operations have not been fully disclosed. The move is part of the ongoing efforts by the Trump administration to address public safety concerns in the nation's capital, though it remains to be seen how effective the increased troop presence will be in achieving the desired reduction in crime.
