'Get off our streets' - DC residents protest against federal agents

Some residents in Washington DC are protesting against a growing federal law enforcement presence in the city, after President Trump deployed the National Guard and took control of the city's police force.

Demonstrators blocked a checkpoint in the city and voiced concern over civil liberties.

The Trump administration has defended the deployment, with the FBI director saying it will "clean up Washington… the lawful way".
