West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey announced Saturday he is deploying the West Virginia National Guard (WVNG) to the nation’s capital to support President Donald Trump’s initiative to restore cleanliness and public safety to Washington, D.C. 

The response was prompted by a request from the Trump administration, Morrisey said.

WVNG will provide mission-essential equipment, specialized training and about 300 to 400 skilled personnel, according to the governor’s office. The mission will be funded at the federal level.

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Friday announced there have been nearly 200 arrests in the D.C. since the Trump administration federalized the city to tackle crime.

Among those arrested were two homicide suspects, 17 suspected drug traffickers, 39 suspected illegal gun offenders, and two sexual predators, according to Bondi.

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
