The American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday sued Gov. Patrick Morrisey (R-WV) for deploying the state’s National Guard to Washington, D.C.

Morrisey was one of several red-state governors to send National Guard troops to the capital to supplement President Donald Trump’s crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C. The move from the deep-red state is being challenged by its chapter of the ACLU on behalf of West Virginia Citizen Action Group, which argued that the deployment violated the law.
