More than 2,000 National Guardsmen from the District of Columbia and six states have been activated as part of the federal operation in the capital.

The total number of troops activated to support the surge in federal law enforcement now stands at 2,091. On Monday, the governors of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee announced they would send hundreds of troops to Washington, D.C. The move comes after Ohio, South Carolin, and West Virginia made similar announcements over the weekend. More than 1,000 outside troops are en route to join the deployment, under the authority of Joint Task Force – District of Columbia. They join — as of Monday evening — the 896 District of Columbia National Guard soldiers and airmen activated as part of President Donald Trump’s show of force inside the city.
