Hundreds of members of the West Virginia National Guard will be deployed to Washington to support anti-crime measures, sparking protests against Trump's intervention.

The Trump administration has decided to deploy hundreds of National Guardsmen from West Virginia to Washington as part of a federal campaign to reform police reform and fight crime. The measure, which includes federalizing local police forces, sparked protests in the capital, where demonstrators gathered to challenge the president's intervention. West Virginia's governor backed the initiative, but protesters voiced fears of abuse of power and militarization of the city.
