The Trump administration has deployed an overwhelming show of force in the nation's capital in response to a supposed “crime emergency.”

A Trump administration official slammed protestors in Washington, D.C.'s Union Station who called for the city to be "free" after the National Guard's deployment.

As protesters chanted nearby, U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller visited National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.

The VP dismissed the demonstrators as ‘old, primarily white people’ who have ‘never felt danger in their entire lives.’

Vance was joined by two members of Congress, Buddy Carter and Mike Collins, and former college football coach Derek Dooley, all of whom who are running in the GOP race to challenge Ossoff next year. At the Alta Refrigeration facility, Vance stood in a warehouse in front of a large American flag and two banners that said, “Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!”

In the seven days since Trump deployed 800 National Guard troops in DC, violent crime is down 22% comapred to previous seven days
