Trump police from Trump’s police nets more than 240 arrests in crime repression

The Trump administration’s repression against violent crimes in Washington, DC, has already enabled more than 240 arrests and withdrew 38 cannons from the streets, said a Fox News official.

The show of strength swept away gang members, suspects of theft and immigration offenders. Only on Friday, only 52 people were arrested, including 28 illegal immigrants, while three cannons were seized.

The federal teams also authorized 25 homeless camps, and the officials said that these moves had been made without confrontations or arrests.

The Deputy Chief of the White House for the Stephen Miller policy praised the extent of the operations and said that the figures were “breathtaking”.

“We have seen a record number of violent offenders, bad guys, gang members and all kinds of public security threats from the street as well as their illegal weapons they used to terrorize the citizens of this city,” Miller told Fox News Live “.

“In addition, we have seen more than 70 homeless camps that have marked and disfigured the public streets of this city, dismantled and thrown away and the authorized homeless of these camps. At the same time, we have the National Park Service and get rid of the Gangs of gangs which have not been affected by this city for decades.”

The operation began quietly on August 7 with the launch of the “Making DC Sure and Beau” working group created by President Donald Trump in March thanks to a decree.

He intensified it on August 11 by temporarily seizing the federal control of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) under emergency powers in the rule of interior rule, the first decision of this type in the history of the United States.

The order puts the MPD under the federal authority up to 30 days, unless the congress extends it, and 800 troops of the National Guard were deployed.

In total, 22 multi-aging teams of more than 1,800 staff members were deployed in the seven police districts while the president performed to “aggressively resume our capital”.

“We have a very dangerous capital. … Something is out of control. But we are going to put it in control very quickly,” said Trump on Monday.

The other arrests included the distribution of drugs, the violations of the arms and the pending mandates. Police also arrested suspects accused of fled the police, reckless conduct, assault with a dangerous weapon and a kidnapping.

The DC National Guard made itinerant on foot patrols and in vehicles around the National Mall and Union Station last night. While they remain armed, officials have stressed that they do not make arrests, rather obtaining federal assets and grant coverage to the police.

Trump began to float the idea of federating DC’s law enforcement after the brutal blow of a former employee of the Government Department (DOGE) during an alleged attempted car diversion in the Washington Logan circle. He then moved to accelerate his repression on Monday, invoking the law on the rule of domicile.

Democrats and local officials have pushed back, noting that the MPD and the report on the American prosecutor’s office are violent crimes at a 30 -year hollow, down 35% from 2023 to 2024.

FBI data for the same period show a much lower decrease of approximately 9%, which highlights a substantial gap between local and federal statistics. The gap follows from the differences in the way in which crimes are classified and reported to the federal databases.

The mayor of DC Muriel Bowser described federal action as “disturbing and unprecedented”, while the Democrats introduced a joint resolution in order to slow down the federal police control.
