Top White House officials turn to public appearances with troops as a tense Washington watches
President Donald Trump has expanded his law-enforcement crackdown in Washington, D.C., with top officials visiting National Guard troops at the city's main railroad station.
A Trump administration official slammed protestors in Washington, D.C.'s Union Station who called for the city to be "free" after the National Guard's deployment.
The VP dismissed the demonstrators as ‘old, primarily white people’ who have ‘never felt danger in their entire lives.’
An activist group called Refuse Fascism led the demonstrators as they marched down Connecticut Avenue to the National Mall, filling the road and blocking traffic. Many were wearing bright orange bandannas and holding signs with slogans, including “Trump Must Go Now” and “No ICE! No National Guard!”
Protesters in Washington, D.C., pushed back over the weekend against President Donald Trump's growing federal military and law enforcement deployment in the capital.
