But we couldnt activate the DC Guard on J6 to protect the Capitol and our legislators?
And just remember....the Boot Lickers will come up with convoluted logic to justify this, too.
Live updates: Trump DC crime crackdown | CNN Politics
President Donald Trump is expected to announce the activation of hundreds of DC National Guard troops this morning as part of his effort to address crime in the nation’s capital, two US officials told CNN.
The DC National Guard forces are expected to be providing safety and security support to law enforcement, though one of the officials said many of the operational specifics still remain unclear, such as where they will be placed throughout the city, what their command-and-control chain will be, and for how long they will be activated.
Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are expected to be at the announcement with Trump.
The official said up to roughly 800 troops in the DC National Guard are expected to be activated. Among the subordinate units of the DC Guard is a military police battalion, complete with maintenance and medical support, and an aviation support battalion.
While National Guard units around the country report to their state’s governors, the DC National Guard falls under the authority of the president, which is typically delegated to the secretary of the Army.
