Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said in a statement Monday that he has approved the deployment of approximately 200 Mississippi National Guard Soldiers to Washington, D.C.

Republican-led states are sending National Guard troops to D.C. to support President Trump's anti-crime efforts, with hundreds of soldiers from West Virginia, South Carolina, and Ohio being deployed to nearly double the 800 D.

The Mississippi National Guard will deploy 200 troops to Washington as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing federal policing and immigration efforts in the nation’s capital.
