Coalition of organizations urge Whitmer to withdraw Michigan National Guard forces from D.C.
A coalition of organizations is urging Governor Gretchen Whitmer to withdraw Michigan National Guard troops from Washington, D.C., arguing they are not being used for the stated America 250 mission but are instead part of a broader task force. The letter highlights that other Democratic governors have already withdrawn their forces, and Whitmer's office is reviewing the request while emphasizing troops should only support the America 250 mission.
