New York officials are reportedly getting ready for protests as the president prepares to make his first visit to the city since assuming office.

Police are expecting protests around the decommissioned aircraft carrier Intrepid — the site where Trump is expected to meet with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Thursday — and at Trump Tower, Reuters reported.

"He's from here, but we think his values are out of step with all the rest of us," Joe Dinkin, spokesman for the Working Families Party, which is leading a "Reject Trump" rally, told the news service.

Trump last week on Fox News sought to explain why he had not been back to his home state.

"I hate to see the New Yorkers with streets closed," he said.

Trump's wife, Melania Trump, and his son, Barron, have been living in New York since he took office. The two plan to stay in the city until Barron finishes the school year.

The bipartisan deal to fund the government through September includes about $68 million for protecting the president and the first family. The money will be used to reimburse New York City and other state and local governments that have hosted and protected the Trump family during their travels outside Washington. The package includes $27 million to reimburse costs incurred before the Trump's inauguration earlier this year.

Since assuming office, there have been several large protests across the country to denounce some of Trump's policy positions.
