The American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday sued Gov. Patrick Morrisey (R-WV) for deploying the state’s National Guard to Washington, D.C. Morrisey was one of several red-state governors to send National Guard troops to the capital to supplement President Donald Trump’s crackdown on crime in Washington,

Trump deployed the National Guard in the city as part of his efforts to federalize Washington’s police operations.

Virginia Gov. Youngkin says the National Guard will deploy as part of the Virginia Homeland Security Task Force, focusing on support, not street patrols.

West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey directed the state’s National Guard to assist with the Trump administration’s federal policing efforts in D.C.

The lawsuit contends that the deployment is an unprecedented political act, not a response to a genuine emergency and violates West Virginia law that outlines specific, limited circumstances for out-of-state Guard deployments.

West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey has directed his state’s National Guard to support President Donald Trump’s initiative to restore safety in Washington, D.C.

The American Civil Liberties Union of West Virginia has filed a lawsuit to halt the deployment of the West Virginia National Guard to the streets of Washington, D.C.

Tennessee has sent 160 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., as President Donald Trump and the White House continue to push their crime fighting directive.
