Photos of ‘Free D.C.’ protest against Trump’s federal takeover of Washington police
Protesters oppose federal control of D.C. police amid a 26% drop in violent crime, with legal challenges and additional National Guard deployments underway, organizers said.
- Hundreds of Washington, D.C. residents gathered in Dupont Circle on Saturday to protest Trump's federal policing takeover and marched 1.5 miles to the White House, organized by the 'Free D.C.' movement.
- Following Monday, Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed DEA Administrator Terry Cole as 'emergency police commissioner' of the MPD after violent crimes, including the congressional intern’s murder.
- Protesters marching under 'Refuse Fascism' criticized the federal deployment in Washington, D.C., a city that's 43% black, as 'a serious ethical and legal breach,' Mason Weber told NPR.
- Additional National Guard deployments from West Virginia, South Carolina, and Ohio bring total troops to support Washington, D.C., beyond approximately 800 members, following a Friday deal to partially roll back the federal police takeover.
- On Nov. 5, 'Refuse Fascism' is organizing another protest amid broader federal efforts that may extend to other cities, despite D.C. crime being lower than during Trump's first term.

Right and left see D.C. in different lights
WASHINGTON — The left sees President Donald Trump’s attempted takeover of Washington law enforcement as part of a multifront march to autocracy — “vindictive authoritarian rule,” as one activist put it — and as an extraordinary thing to do in rather ordinary times on the streets of the capital.
