The American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday sued Gov. Patrick Morrisey (R-WV) for deploying the state’s National Guard to Washington, D.C. Morrisey was one of several red-state governors to send National Guard troops to the capital to supplement President Donald Trump’s crackdown on crime in Washington,

West Virginia National Guard troops head to nation's capital following Trump administration request to restore cleanliness and security to D.C.

Morrisey said the deployment includes hundreds of “skilled personnel” at the request of the Trump administration.
