The Trump administration has deployed an overwhelming show of force in the nation's capital in response to a supposed “crime emergency.”

A Trump administration official slammed protestors in Washington, D.C.'s Union Station who called for the city to be "free" after the National Guard's deployment.

As protesters chanted nearby, U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller visited National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.

Vice President JD Vance has been promoting President Donald Trump's new tax cuts and spending bill in swing-state Georgia.

The VP dismissed the demonstrators as ‘old, primarily white people’ who have ‘never felt danger in their entire lives.’
