The demonstrators oppose the Federal Trump takeover of DC police operations

The demonstrators continue to explode the takeover by the Trump administration in Washington, DC, comparing it to an “invasion” even though the crime falls.

The demonstrators, who did not seem to be part of a specific organization, on a pedestrian bridge on the i-95 in Virginia near the city this week, said that “our systems are attacked”.

“”What is the problem is that it is the national guard like the sons and the daughters of my friends, “a woman told Fox News Digital.” It’s their time away from their family. The money wasted to assert a point is really shameful and not American because they send them against real Americans with weapons. And it’s really an invasion. And we are not Russia, we are the United States of filtering America. “”

The DC police union says that the crime has dropped since the takeover was announced by President Donald Trump earlier this month. Thursday, it was noted that there were no homicides reported in the city last week.

In addition to the National Guard, many federal agencies, including immigration and customs application and the FBI, are on patrol in the capital. The Attorney General Pam Bondi signed an order which encourages local officers to comply with the federal immigration authorities in a strong reprimand for the policies of the city’s sanctuary.

“719 arrests and 91 illegal cannons seized in Washington, DC, yesterday, we made 40 arrests, taken 5 additional illegal firearms from our streets and had 36 ice arrests, including an alleged member of the Gang MS-13. Thank you (President Trump) for your unshakable support to make DC again!” Friday morning, Bondi posted on X.

Trump threatened on Friday, threatened to take control in a social post of truth.

“Washington, DC is again safe! The crowd comes back, the spirit is high, and our national guard and our DC police do a fantastic job. They are in force and do not play games !!!” He wrote.

“As bad as it may seem, there was no murder this week for the first time in memory. Mayor Muriel Bowser must immediately stop giving false and very inaccurate crime figures, or bad things will occur, including a complete and total federal control of the city! Washington DC will soon be big !!!” The president added.

Another demonstrator noted that he was happy to see that crime had dropped in the city, but said that the declaration of crime to Washington DC was not necessary.

“”I really believe that we border an area where we do not follow the law, where we do not do the things we have to do to serve the people, “he said.

“I am very happy that the crime is broken down, and that does not surprise me at all if you want to have troops and many people who have police in the streets,” he said. “The problem with this is that we make an emergency from something that was not an emergency.”
