Here is how DC is planning to manage pro-Trump protests this week

Protests by pro-Trump groups, including the Proud Boys, are scheduled for the Nation’s Capital this week, prompting an all-hands-on-deck response from the District government.

In a statement Sunday, Mayor Muriel Bowser said all Metropolitan Police Department officers would be required to work on Tuesday and Wednesday.

After anonymous posters in online chats strategized about how to sneak guns into the city, police posted signs warning that firearms are prohibited at protests. Open carry is also banned in DC.

“Don’t bring weapons into our city. They are banned here in the District of Columbia and you should not expect that anyone will bring weapons here because if they do and if anyone comes here to cause violence they will be arrested,” said Christopher Rodriguez, director of DC’s Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency.

Mayor Bowser sent a similar message urging DC residents and people from across the area to stay home and especially avoid downtown DC where protest activity is taking place.
