With nearly 2,000 National Guard troops expected to be deployed in Washington as part of President Donald Trump’s law-enforcement crackdown, parts of the nation’s capital have started to look like occupied territory with massive miliary transport vehicles dotting the city.

The average number of people arrested each day in Washington during the first 10 days of Trump’s federal takeover increased by about 20%. Those totals include arrests by both local police and federal officers, but not immigration arrests, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss data that has not been publicly released.

While when members of the president’s staff including Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth went to a Shake ShackWednesday to praise soldiers for bringing “law and order back,” they were met mostly with jeers from city residents who argued the increase in military presence was without reason.

D.C. native LaVerne Smalls, 46, said the city’s vibe is “very different. It’s very quiet, and I don’t like it. It should be full of life.”
