National Guard Allowed Back Into Capitol After Relocated To Parking Garage

Members of the National Guard providing security in Washington, D.C. have been allowed back into the U.S. Capitol complex after reports surfaced of them being forced to use a parking garage as a rest area between shifts.

Several Guardsmen told CNN they were told they could no longer use designated areas like a cafeteria while taking breaks.

One guardsman said, "We honestly just feel betrayed...After everything went seamlessly, we were deemed useless and banished to a corner of a parking garage."

CNN and Politico obtained photos of the National Guard members sleeping against concrete pillars in the garage.

The reports sparked backlash from lawmakers, including Sen. Kyrsten Sinema from Arizona who tweeted in part, "This is outrageous, shameful, and incredibly disrespectful."
