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.

After President Donald Trump's announcement that his administration would take over Washington’s police department for at least a month, hundreds of members of the National Guard began to arrive in the capital.

The U.S. capital Washington sued Donald Trump on Friday over his attempted takeover of the city's police force, escalating a power struggle between the U.S. president and the city's leadership.
