Earlier last month, Trump activated 800 members of the District of Columbia National Guard to help restore order in the nation’s capital, including cracking down on crime, illegal immigration and homelessness. 

Geogia now joins seven states: Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and West Virginia, who have sent troops to support Trump’s mission.
