Five Republican governors have now deployed National Guard soldiers to Washington, D.C., following President Donald Trump's request to send troops.
The moves came as protesters pushed back on federal law enforcement and National Guard troops fanning out in the heavily Democratic city following President Donald Trump’s executive order.
The deployment of troops began last week when Trump declared a "crime emergency" in Washington and initiated the takeover of the D.C. police department.
