National Guard troops from Arizona, Michigan and Alabama were heading to Wisconsin to assist with unrest in Kenosha after the Jacob Blake shooting, said Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers on Thursday. He did not say how many troops would assist.
The governor has authorized the deployment of 500 members of the Wisconsin National Guard to Kenosha, doubling the number of troops in the city of 100,000.
The National Guardsmen will operate under state Active Duty status through emergency management assistance agreements with Wisconsin to assist local and state partners in Wisconsin to ensure citizens’ right to safety and maintaining order, according to a Wisconsin Guard statement.
