Some Washington, D.C., residents are adopting a new symbol of resistance against President Donald Trump’s administration: the so-called “sandwich guy.”
This month, Trump mobilized the National Guard in Washington, D.C., brought in federal agents and placed the local police force under federal control in an attempt to stop a “crime emergency” he described as “out of control.” This comes despite available data indicating violent crime in D.C. has been decreasing since 2023, and even hit a 30-year low last year.
