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.

According to data shared with DC News Now, eight illegal guns were seized, along with 33 arrests — 15 of which were immigration related, the White House says. Other arrests were for a warrant for first-degree murder, first-degree rape, another arrest for aggravated assault and a juvenile carrying a gun and crack cocaine.

Residents in one Washington, D.C., neighborhood lined up to protest the increased police presence after the White House said the number of National Guard troops in the nation’s capital would ramp up and federal officers would be on the streets around the clock.

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

Fearmongering coverage on the arrest of a "moped driver" was batted down by a WH spokesperson, who slammed the media with facts.
