As the National Guard and law enforcement officers stood guard near the White House, surveillance planes kept watch on protesters in the nation's capital from the air. The demonstrators broke up into two groups; one stayed at the White House, the other marched to the Capitol. Protesters held signs and chanted, but there were no indications of any confrontations with law enforcement. Hundreds of protesters stood face to face with military and federal officers who had formed a perimeter around Lafayette Park across from the White House. Military police and law enforcement officers from a variety of federal agencies were out in force.
