West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey (R) said Saturday that National Guard troops from his state would aid the Trump administration’s federal police takeover in Washington to help “make D.C. safe and beautiful.

West Virginia is sending 300 to 400 members of its National Guard to the nation’s capital to assist in the Trump’s administration’s takeover of the city’s police department.

The West Virginia National Guard will be supporting President Donald Trump’s plans to make Washington D.C. safe and beautiful. Governor Patrick Morrisey will be directing the Guard to help restore cleanliness and safety to the nation’s capital.

The Trump administration won't take control of the Washington police force, but more military personnel are being deployed there to ensure safety for all.

The moves come as federal agents and National Guard troops have begun to appear across the heavily Democratic city after President Trump's executive order earlier this week.

Six Republican states have sent National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., in response to President Trump's crime crackdown, amid questions about the operation's focus.

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.

Governor Patrick Morrisey said in Saturday's statement: "West Virginia is proud to stand with President Trump in his effort to restore pride and beauty to our nation's capital. The men and women of our National Guard represent the best of our state, and this mission reflects our shared commitment to a strong and secure America."

Morrisey said the deployment includes hundreds of “skilled personnel” at the request of the Trump administration.
