National guard vehicles have rolled into Washington, D.C., after President Trump ordered the deployment to address "violent crime" in the capital.

Washington is offering a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Haitian gang leader Cherizier, who is accused of violating US sanctions.

Trump's plan to control the capital's police force draws both worry and hope from Washington residents.

President Trump announced he is placing the Washington, D.C. police department under direct federal control and deploying the National Guard to address "violent crime".
