National Guard troops allowed back in Capitol following outrage Unmute CNN Newsource (CNN) - National Guard troops were let back into the United States Capitol after being banished to a parking garage for their rest area on Thursday. Lawmakers expressed outrage over the treatment of the troops after they were told they could no longer use the complex. Thousands of soldiers were using designated areas in the Capitol building to sleep and rest. After the shift to the garage at the Thurgood Marshall Judicial Center, pictures show guardsmen sitting or lying down in an area cordoned off with caution tape.
