Muriel Bowser actually said...

I`ve asked for the deployment of the guard as long as we need the guard to deal with the humanitarian crisis that we expect to escalate.

We have a growing humanitarian crisis that we expect that the federal government expects is going to only worsen.

I think the whole point of what we've been talking about is the Governors, the chief, and the mayor here know best for our states.

It's true that calling the D.C. National Guard is kind of a misnomer. It's really the President's Guard.
