At least four governors say they’re ordering National Guard troops out of Washington, D.C., after thousands of Guardsmen were sent from the U.S.

Republican governors Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, Ron DeSantis of Florida, Greg Abbott of Texas and Greg Gianforte of Montana all now have said they’re calling Guard members from their states home.

The troops will provide security, communications, medical evacuation, logistics and safety support to local and federal agencies, he said.
