West Virginia sends hundreds of National Guard members to Washington at Trump team's request
WASHINGTON — Members of the West Virginia National Guard will be deployed to the streets of the nation's capital as part of the Trump administration's effort to overhaul policing in the District of Columbia through a federal crackdown on crime and homelessness. Gov. Patrick Morrisey, announced Saturday that he was sending 300 to 400 members of his state's National Guard to nearby Washington at the Republican administration's request. They will arrive in the District of Columbia along with equipment and specialized training services, his office said in a statement. 'West Virginia is proud to stand with President Trump in his effort to restore pride and beauty to our nation's capital,' Morrisey said. 'The men and women of our National Guard represent the best of our state, and this mission reflects our shared commitment to a strong and secure America.' The move comes as federal agents and National Guard troops have begun to appear across the heavily Democratic city after Trump's executive order Monday trump federalizing local police forces and activating about 800 D.C. National Guard troops for his plan. Maj. Gen. James Seward, West Virginia's adjutant general, said in a statement that members of the state's National Guard 'stand ready to support our partners in the National Capital Region' and that the Guard's 'unique capabilities and preparedness make it an invaluable partner in this important undertaking.' Federal agents have appeared in some of the city's most highly trafficked neighborhoods, garnering praise, pushback and alarm from local residents and leaders across the country. City leaders, who are obliged to co-operate with the president's order under the federal laws that direct the district's local governance, have sought to work with the administration though have bristled at the scope of the president's takeover.

Leslie Roberts: Man in keffiyeh threatens Montreal Jew: 'We will kill you all"
The 911 calls started pouring in to Montreal police around 4:40 p.m. Friday, as the Jewish shabbat neared: A man wearing a long white robe and a keffiyeh-style headscarf was threatening people on a residential street in the city's Saint-Laurent borough. Article content 'We will kill you all,' he shouts at an identifiably Jewish man in one video of the incident. Article content Article content In one clip being widely shared on social media, he appears to be shouting at someone wearing a kippah: 'We will f—ing kill you, OK you f—ing pig.' Article content Article content A second video shows him pointing to the sky and declaring: 'I'm just waiting for the order of the king … There is one king — Allah.' Article content Article content The disturbing footage underscored how frightening the confrontation was for residents. At no time did they shout back or respond angrily. Article content Police officers quickly located a 28-year-old suspect and took him into custody. He remains detained pending a court appearance, with the case now in the hands of the Montreal police hate crimes unit. Charges are likely based on the videos. Article content Sources indicate the man does not live in Saint-Laurent but likely attends a mosque in the borough. That fact risks further inflaming tensions in a neighbourhood where Jewish and Muslim families live side by side in the post-October 7 world. It also highlights the challenge facing Saint-Laurent Mayor Alan DeSousa: preventing a faraway conflict from spilling into the streets of his borough. Article content DeSousa says he has worked proactively to promote harmony between Jewish and Muslim residents, but Friday's outburst has raised the stakes. In its aftermath, he ordered more visibility from the borough's security patrols and secured assurances from the local Montreal police commander that police presence would be increased. Article content Article content He also planned to meet with Jewish community leaders as soon as Saturday night to send a clear message: 'We've got their backs.' Article content Article content Since October 7, Saint-Laurent has increased security resources around both Jewish and Muslim institutions. The mayor has made a point of underscoring that coexistence is not up for debate. 'No hate or even disrespect will be tolerated,' he added. Article content But the mayor knows his borough can't shoulder this burden alone. He is calling on other levels of government to get more proactive with preventative measures. He has appealed directly to Montreal's mayor, as well as provincial and federal leaders, to not only take the threat of hate and intimidation more seriously but to do so publicly. Article content DeSousa told me Saturday morning: 'The Jewish community has to feel safe in the community.' Article content Friday's arrest is about more than one man's outburst. It speaks to the growing climate of intimidation that has taken root in Montreal and beyond. What starts as heated words can quickly spiral into something more dangerous. In this case, swift police intervention prevented escalation.
