Security Perimeter Around White House Expanded By Several Blocks
The people are continuing to be kept away from The People's House.
An expanded security perimeter around the White House will be in place for several more days, even as the mayor of Washington, D.C., called on the Trump administration to withdraw its extra federal law enforcement and military presence from the city.
Police and federal forces began pushing protesters in Lafayette Square back from the White House on Monday night, using shields, billy clubs and tear gas.
Meanwhile, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has called on Trump to "withdraw all extraordinary federal law enforcement and military presence from our city."
Trump administration officials said that the perimeter is meant to keep protests from getting too large near the White House and that the administration is eager for the expanded barriers to be removed, according to The Washington Post.
