The moves come as federal agents and National Guard troops have begun to appear across the heavily Democratic city after President Trump's executive order earlier this week.

The West Virginia National Guard will be supporting President Donald Trump’s plans to make Washington D.C. safe and beautiful. Governor Patrick Morrisey will be directing the Guard to help restore cleanliness and safety to the nation’s capital.

West Virginia is sending 300 to 400 members of its National Guard to the nation’s capital to assist in the Trump administration’s takeover of the city’s police department.
