ABC News’ Martha Raddatz interviews Sen. Chris Van Hollen on “This Week" over President Trump deploying the National Guard to Washington, D.C.

The Republican governors of West Virginia, South Carolina and Ohio announced Saturday they will send National Guard troops to Washington, DC, in an escalation of President Donald Trump’s efforts to federally take over law enforcement in the city.

The Post mapped locations of law enforcement throughout D.C. in the days since Trump’s announcement to deploy the Guard.

Trump's plan to address crime in D.C. calls for deploying National Guard troops along the National Mall overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning, according to a source.

In New Mexico’s most populous city, National Guard troops are listening to the police dispatch calls, monitoring traffic cameras and helping to secure crime scene perimeters, tasks not usually part of the job.

"This is an affront to the dignity and autonomy of the 700,000 Americans who call D.C. home,” District of Columbia AG Brian Schwalb says.

P resident Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he will seek more permanent federal control of the Washington, D.C., police force as he continues his efforts to ramp-up crime enforcement in the nation's capital.
