Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — The White House is touting over one-thousand arrests since deploying Guard troops across the nation's capital earlier this month. According to the White House, 111 firearms have been seized, six known gang members have been arrested, and 49 homeless encampments have been cleared by the multi-agency teams. At this time, it is unclear when the federal police presence will be scaled back in the district. Two --- Gas prices are expected to remain low for Labor Day weekend travelers. AAA says the national average for a gallon of regular should stay below last year's average of three dollars and 33 cents, and should remain low for the rest of the summer as long as Gulf Coast refineries are not hit by hurricanes. And number three --- Plus-sized customers will soon have to deal with a new seating policy on Southwest Airlines. According to the airline, larger passengers who cannot be accommodated in a single plane seat will be required to purchase a second seat ahead of time and can then request a refund after the flight. The changes are part of Southwest's broader shift to assigned seating.
