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.

Authorities also said there will be a "significantly higher national guard presence on the ground" starting Wednesday night.

The White House on Monday revealed photos of National Guard troops in Washington, DC, as President Donald Trump moved to take direct federal control of the city’s police and deploy 800 troops in a sweeping crime crackdown.
