      XPost: us.military.national-guard, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, alt.po       itics.socialist.nazi       XPost: talk.politics.guns, sac.politics       From: lets.go.brandon@salon.com              The Pentagon on Monday extended National Guard support to       Washington, D.C., law enforcement after the Capitol Police Board       over the weekend issued an emergency declaration due to truck       drivers protesting COVID-19 policies in the area.              Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved requests from the U.S.       Capitol Police and the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency       Management Agency “to extend previously approved National Guard       support in the District, including around the U.S. Capitol area,”       according to a statement from press secretary John Kirby.              The guardsmen will provide support at traffic control points for two       additional days through Wednesday, Kirby said.              Austin last month approved 700 unarmed National Guard troops to be       deployed in Washington from Feb. 26 through March 7 to help with       traffic ahead of the truck convoy.              The Pentagon extended the guardsmen’s time in the Beltway region       after the convoy protests began Sunday and slowed traffic outside       the capital. The gathering, dubbed the “People’s Convoy,” is       expected to last several days.              Capitol Police leaders are reportedly worried about the possibility       of the trucks and other vehicles causing shutdowns of various roads       and highways and creating a situation similar to the “Freedom       Convoy” that shut down parts of Canadian capital Ottawa.              https://thehill.com/policy/defense/597162-pentagon-extends-       national-guard-support-in-dc              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
