National Guard Troops Leave U.S. Capitol, Return To Home Bases

National Guard troops have returned to their home bases after patrolling on foot near the U.S. Capitol since the riots on January 6th. Retired Lieutenant General Russel Honore said the National Guard will leave the grounds but the area surrounding the Capitol won’t be opening immediately due to the ongoing stain on Capitol Police resources. He said “They will not be able to return immediately to an open campus where people can visit the Capitol because of the strain on the Capitol Police.’ Honore stresses the urgency of the Senate passing the $1.9 billion security supplemental bill that passed in the House last week.
