Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have deployed troops in Washington, D.C., officials announced Monday, as President Trump mobilized the military in the capital city to address the protests over George Floyd’s death.
CBP Acting Commissioner Mark Morgan posted on Twitter that the law enforcement’s personnel has been sent to the National Capital Region “to assist law enforcement partners.”
“These ‘protests’ have devolved into chaos & acts of domestic terrorism by groups of radicals & agitators,” he tweeted. “@CBP is answering the call and will work to keep DC safe.”

In another tweet, Morgan said the CBP was securing national monuments and memorials across the city.
“Last night, some of them were defaced by rioters,” he said. “We’re working hard to prevent it from happening again, and we’re proud to protect them.”
