On Wednesday, Facebook took down the page of the Kenosha Guard, a self-described local militia which had called on members to help protect the streets. "We are unaware if the armed citizen was answering the Kenosha Guard Militia's call to arms," the group said. While not confirming the president's assertion, Evers said he had doubled the potential National Guard deployment to 500 officers. "TODAY, I will be sending federal law enforcement and the National Guard to Kenosha, WI to restore LAW and ORDER!" The Wisconsin Department of Justice is leading the investigation into Blake's shooting and has yet to provide details.
