National Guard presence in D.C. is set to increase in the coming days after the governors of some Republican states deployed troops to the capital.
Residents in one Washington, D.C., neighborhood lined up to protest the increased police presence after the White House said the number of National Guard troops in the nation’s capital would ramp up and federal officers would be on the streets around the clock.
Protesters marched to the White House on Saturday as D.C. Metropolitan Police officers and National Park Service police looked on from a distance.
