A federal judge slammed the “lawlessness” of the arrest of a Black man inside of a Trader Joe’s in Washington, D.C. amid President Donald Trump’s federal takeover of the nation’s capital.
Trump signed an August 11 executive order that federalized the Metropolitan Police Department as he declared a “crime emergency” in the nation’s capital. In the latest show of force, the local police arrested a Black man in a Trader Joe’s after finding he was carrying guns in a search that a judge has branded “illegal.”
