Gov. Larry Hogan said tomorrow he will "address" the state of emergency order still under effect in Baltimore.

Over the past few days, the governor has said he will lift the emergency order after the last of the National Guard troops leave the city, a process that began Sunday and was expected to last 72 hours. A spokesman for the guard said Tuesday afternoon the force was still packing up gear.

Rescinding the executive order would be among the last acts to return the city to normal after more than a dozen days of unrest.

Hogan issued the executive order April 27 while the most violent riots were underway. As the protests about Freddie Gray's death while in police custody turned peaceful for the remainder of the week, the executive order that allowed the guardsmen to patrol city streets remained in effect.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake on Sunday lifted the 10 p.m. curfew instituted after the riot. Hogan announced that day he would begin removing the military from the city.
