The Republican governors of West Virginia, South Carolina and Ohio announced Saturday they will send National Guard troops to Washington, DC, in an escalation of President Donald Trump’s efforts to federally take over law enforcement in the city.

On Sunday night, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine both announced their respective deployment of troops to the capital.

Trump's plan to address crime in D.C. calls for deploying National Guard troops along the National Mall overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning, according to a source.

A White House spokesperson told CBS News that while deployed National Guard members "may be armed," they will not make arrests.

The Post mapped locations of law enforcement throughout D.C. in the days since Trump’s announcement to deploy the Guard.

"This is an affront to the dignity and autonomy of the 700,000 Americans who call D.C. home,” District of Columbia AG Brian Schwalb says.
