The statues are largely linked to what protesters believe are evidence of racist elements in the nation’s past.

In recent weeks, protesters in D.C. toppled and burned the Albert Pike monument – the only statue in the nation’s capital depicting a Confederate figure.

President Trump is expected to sign an executive order by the end of the week that would protect public statues and federal monuments and make vandalizing or any destruction to them punishable by jail time.
