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.

Protesters heckled Vice President JD Vance and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth as they walked through Union Station in Washington, D.C., to meet National Guard troops deployed under President Donald Trump’s emergency order.

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!”
