As other Democratic-led states have also made it clear they are leaving D.C., pressure has been increasing on Michigan Gov. Whitmer to make a similar call.

Michigan's deployment of 162 troops is due to continue through Aug. 31.

In a strongly worded letter sent to the head of Michigan's National Guard last week, Whitmer threatened to pull her guard members out if there are more reports of the Michigan guard being used in the ongoing law enforcement operations.

But a growing chorus — including a letter sent this week, signed by all 13 members of the D.C. city council — has been calling on Whitmer to bring her troops out early.
