Reference News Network September 7 report. According to the Associated Press September 6 report, thousands of protesters held a large-scale demonstration in Washington D.C., protesting President Trump's federal takeover of Washington.
Protesters walked to a square near the White House, holding bright red banners that read "End the Occupation of Washington D.C." in English and Spanish, protesting the National Guard and federal agents taking over the security duties in Washington D.C. The implementation of this takeover order has been nearly four weeks.
The report said that this event may be the most organized protest so far against the Trump administration's intervention in the governance of Washington.
Trump defended his federal takeover order last month, saying it was a way to address crime and homelessness in Washington, despite the city's municipal officials pointing out that the city's violent crime rate is lower than during Trump's first term. (Translated by Pan Xiaoyan)
