Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) voiced strong opposition to President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., calling it politically motivated and constitutionally problematic.
During an appearance on The Briefing with Jen Psaki on Tuesday night, Moore expressed his deep concerns about the possible misuse of military forces in local law enforcement efforts. He made it clear that he would not authorize the deployment of the Maryland National Guard unless it was deemed “both mission-critical and mission-aligned.”
Moore emphasized the gravity of the decision, saying he would not take such a step lightly.
