The Utah National Guard confirmed that 200 of its service members were kicked out of a hotel in the District of Columbia after Mayor Muriel Bowser called for the White House to withdraw troops.

Bowser has said she wants all non-District of Columbia troops out of the city, saying that the National Guard was removed from the hotel due to a budget issue.
