Four governors have ordered their local National Guard troops to return to their respective states following accounts of thousands of them saying they had been “banished” to the parking garage of the U.S. Capitol.
Republican Govs. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, Ron DeSantis of Florida, Greg Abbott of Texas, and Greg Gianforte of Montana have said they’re calling their Guard members home. More than 20,000 Guard troops were sent to Washington following the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and ahead of President Joe Biden’s inauguration.
