ALBAWABA - Thousands of American protesters gathered across Washington, D.C., on Saturday to demonstrate against U.S. President Donald Trump’s federal takeover of policing in the nation’s capital.

The "We Are All DC" protest is one of the biggest demonstrations against Donald Trump, NBC News mentioned. People walked from Meridian Hill Park to Freedom Plaza near the White House to protest the presence of National Guard troops and federal members in the streets.

Protesters rallied through the streets of the U.S. capital, Washington, as they chanted "Donald Trump has got to go!" and "Free DC".

The U.S. President deployed National Guard troops and federal members into the streets of D.C. with the aim of curbing crime and addressing homelessness.

Washington officials, on the other hand, said that violent crime is less than it was during Trump's first term in office.

Moreover, Trump announced last week that he is considering deploying National Guard troops in Chicago.
