Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said in a statement Monday that he has approved the deployment of approximately 200 Mississippi National Guard Soldiers to Washington, D.C. “Crime is out of control there, and it’s clear something must be done to combat it,” Reeves said.

Hundreds more National Guard troops are expected to arrive in Washington, D.C., in the coming days, with at least four Republican-led states offering to send soldiers.

As of Monday evening, six states have agreed to send troops to the nation's capital. Those states include West Virginia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Ohio.
