4:22Now PlayingSome of the 800 members of the National Guard deployed by US President Donald Trump to Washington have started to arrive.
It comes a day after he ordered federal forces to take control of the US capital's police, citing what he said was a crime emergency. But city leaders have pointed to data showing violent crime is declining and is now at a 30-year low.
