The number of National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., increased again on Tuesday as a sixth Republican-led state sent some of its soldiers to the nation's capital as part of the president's activation to fight what he claims is rising crime in the city.
The moves come as federal agents and National Guard troops have begun to appear across the heavily Democratic city after President Trump's executive order.
Protesters booed and jeered Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller as they came to the station, located blocks from the U.S. Capitol, to thank the troops. The crowd's chants drowned out the voices of the officials.
National Guard members from West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana have begun arriving in Washington.
