A crowd of protesters marched from Washington, D.C.'s, Dupont Circle to the front of the White House on Saturday, as part of a nationwide protest against President Donald Trump's orders to federalize the D.C. police force.

Demonstrators took to the streets for the "Fight the Trump Takeover," chanting "Free D.C." and carrying signs that read "Trump Must Go Now," "No Troops in D.C.," and other messages expressing disagreement with the administration's actions in the District this week.
