Residents in one Washington, D.C., neighborhood lined up to protest the increased police presence after the White House said the number of National Guard troops in the nation’s capital would ramp up and federal officers would be on the streets around the clock.

Authorities also said there will be a "significantly higher national guard presence on the ground" starting Wednesday night.

Following Trump's unprecedented announcement that his administration would take over the Washington police department and dispatch the National Guard for at least a month, the White House announced there would be a round-the-clock police presence.
