Four homeless camps were also eliminated on Monday, bringing the total to 48.

A White House official told Fox News in the background that more than 450 arrests had been made since Thursday, August 7. Of the 212 non-immigration arrests, 101 were in the high level 7 and 8 districts, Axios reported concerning an analysis of the white house of data so far.

The White House said that the data had thwarted a map of “follow -up troops” in the capital of the Washington Post.

“Under President Trump and the leaders of secretary Noem, the Ice’s police are unleashed to keep America as sheltered from dangerous criminals. As the secretary, ICE and CBP announced have been deployed to help clean the streets of the capital of our country,” said McLaughlin.
“Our message is clear: illegal criminal foreigners are not welcome in the United States,” she said.

In the midst of the repression of Trump’s crime to DC, Democrat mayor Muriel Bowser criticized the federalization of the city’s police forces.

“This is a time when the community must intervene. We must all, do what we can in our space, in our way, to protect our city and to protect our autonomy, to protect our original rule and arrive on the other side of this type, and ensure that we elected a democratic house so that we have a fundamental part to this authoritarian push,” said Bowser during the Town Salle, week.

She continued by calling Trump’s effort “an intrusion into our autonomy”.
