WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon rejected a request from the District of Columbia seeking National Guard assistance in what the mayor has called a “growing humanitarian crisis” prompted by thousands of migrants being bused to the city from two southern states.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin declined to provide Guard personnel and the use of the D.C. Armory to assist with the reception of migrants into the city, according to U.S. defense officials.

Did they copy the president on this request? After all, it’s due to his administration opening up our borders to the world.

As they should - deploying federal troops in other than a martial law scenario would tell the whole nation that the situation faced by states along the southern border is and has been a crisis for years. Can't have anything that goes against the agenda.
