Thousands of people demonstrated in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, September 6, demanding an end to the deployment of National Guard troops in the city ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump.
According to Reuters, protesters chanted slogans against Trump and carried posters with messages such as “Trump must go now” and “Liberate Washington, D.C.”
The protests follow Trump’s recent declaration of a crime emergency and the subsequent deployment of National Guard troops, a move that has angered many city residents.
