Protest against Trump’s federal takeover of police in Washington, DC
People protest U.S. President Donald Trump's federalization of DC police and deployment of National Guard troops, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on August 11, 2025. Trump announced the takeover at a morning press conference, claiming incorrectly that violent crime is at an all-time high in the capital city. Violent crime dropped by 26 percent over the previous year. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
