DC Mayor MurielBowser sends new plea for help after request for National Guard denied
Mayor Muriel Bowser sent the follow-up letter, which noted"additional information," as the city scrambles to manage a sudden influx of migrants bused in from Texas in protest of the Biden administration's handling of the border crisis. A July 19 request was rejected on Aug. 4 by the Pentagon, which claimed that the district had been given enough funds from the Federal Emergency Management Administration to manage the situation.
We need help from our federal partners as we seek to stabilize and manage our operating environment in this critical moment. I have been honored to work with the men and women of the DC National Guard many times and today we renewed our request for their assistance. pic.twitter.
The mayor shook off criticism in the letter by noting that the guard had been deployed dozens of previous times on her orders without militarizing a humanitarian mission. "As Mayor since 2015, I've requested DC National Guard support nearly 50 times — to support our COVID-19 response, major events, and severe weather. Each time, these operational, apolitical requests have been granted. I have been honored to work with these men and women to keep our nation's capital safe in times of great stress, and I take very seriously my responsibility to honor their service with legitimate, on-mission requests," she added.Gov.
