Washington, D.C.’s ‘shadow senator’ calls on Gretchen Whitmer to remove National Guard troops

Ankrit Jain, Washington, D.C.’s shadow senator, urged Governor Gretchen Whitmer to recall Michigan National Guard troops stationed in D.C. for the America250 celebration, citing credible evidence they were deployed in Georgetown. Jain and a coalition of civil society groups, including Free DC, argue the troops’ presence contradicts Whitmer’s claims they were deployed solely for the anniversary event.
