Senator Jim Banks visits Indiana National Guard in Washington D.C.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – This morning, Senator Jim Banks (R-Ind.) visited Indiana National Guard troops who are in Washington D.C. to support the D.C. Safe and Beautiful mission as part of President Trump’s Make America Safe Again agenda.

Senator Jim Banks (R-Ind.) stated, “Our Indiana National Guard soldiers represent the best of our state. It was great to spend time with them this morning and thank them for the important work they’re doing to help protect our nation’s capital.”

300 Indiana National Guard solders arrived in Washington D.C. earlier this month to assist local and federal law enforcement partners to help deter crime and maintain public order. Soldiers trained at Camp Atterbury to prepare for the mission. As the mission evolves, they will continue training alongside Joint Task Force-District of Columbia.
