Donald Trump declared not too long ago that Washington D.C. is now a crime-ridden city, and to counter that, he deployed 800 National Guard troops to patrol the nation’s capital. Now, reportedly, D.C. police have declared that they will also assist ICE officers in clamping down on immigrants through traffic stops. A major departure of the pro-immigrant policies that once existed in the city.
NBC reports that while crime in D.C. has been at its lowest in decades, Trump insisted that since a former DOJ employee was attacked while on his way to save a woman from carjackers, his administration must take over law enforcement in the city. Pam Bondi declared on the day the National Guard was deployed that it was the final day the city would be unsafe.
