Washington, D.C. residents protest as White House says federal agents will be on patrol 24/7

WASHINGTON: Residents in one Washington, D.C., neighborhood lined up Wednesday 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 the streets around the clock. After law enforcement set up a vehicle checkpoint along the busy 14th Street Northwest corridor, hecklers shouted, “Go home, fascists” and other insults. Some protesters stood at the intersection before the checkpoint and urged drivers to turn away from it.
