“The number of National Guardsmen called up to deal with the coronavirus response may double by the weekend, and a top general says they may help with local law enforcement.

“The Pentagon, meanwhile, announced on Thursday that the administration has no plans to put Guardsmen under federal control.

“More than 2,000 Guardsmen have already been deployed in 27 states to respond to the pandemic, Air Force Gen. Joseph Lengyel told reporters Thursday.
