Photos: Scenes from Trump's takeover of D.C.

D.C. is seeing an increased federal law enforcement presence after President Trump declared a "crime emergency" in the U.S. capital on Monday. The big picture: Trump's move to federalize the D.C. police force, announce the deployment of 800 National Guard troops and send in federal agencies, drew protests in D.C., with many pointing out the city has seen a drop in violent crime.
