On Tuesday night, more than 1,450 federal law enforcement officers and National Guard members patrolled Washington, according to a White House official. Forces made 43 arrests on Tuesday night -- nearly twice the amount they made Monday night.

Trump has greater authority over the D.C. National Guard than state national guards because of the federal government’s control over the nation’s capital. Governors control the state guards, although the president can federalize the guard in an emergency or for use in combat operations.
