Personnel from #WestVirginia arrived Monday, with troops from #SouthCarolina, #Mississippi & advance teams from #Ohio & #Tennessee expected to arrive Tuesday, a defense official said.….

[The #NationalGuard troops are]…operating under the command of Joint Task Force DC, which will decide where in the city to send troops in coordination w/agencies asking for assistance.

#Washington has been informed about the intent for the #NationalGuard to now be #armed, though it has not received details about when that could happen or where armed Guard members could be deployed in #DC….

It would be a departure from what the #Pentagon & #Army have said about the #troops being unarmed. The Army said last week that “weapons are available if needed but will remain in the armory.”

#Trump stepped up pressure on #Harvard Friday, adding a new investigation into the university’s #patents & renewing a host of claims that the #university is unfit to host #InternationalStudents.

[The Trump admin filed a court motion Friday accusing] Harvard of failure to control crime, & claims that Harvard’s leadership has “shown itself to be incapable of properly hosting, monitoring, disciplining, & reporting on its foreign students.”
