Trump’s ‘DC takeover’: Residents protested in the presence of federal soldiers and police – all the unrest shaped the US capital

Residents in some parts of Washington DC on Wednesday took the streets on the streets to take over the acquisition of Donald Trump, President of the city police department and the bounce of federal officials and National Guard soldiers. Demonstrations marked by mantras and calls for drivers to avoid police posts, the White House necessarily defended a month -long federal control, despite showing violent offenses in a decades despite the city data, the AP said.

Residents rally against the presence of 24/7 federal agents

Law enforcement installed a vehicle checkpoint with a busy 14th Street Northwest Corridor, inspiring the Hekler to shout, “Go Home, Fascist” and “get on our streets.” Some protesters urged the drivers to move away before the checkpoint.The protests announced Trump’s unprecedented announcement that his administration would handle the metropolitan police department for at least a month. The city’s Democratic Mayor described the move as a “powerful push”, later there was no clear benchmark for success before calling it a public safety measure. Trump has argued that the crime in the city is on “emergency levels”, while local leaders point to figures showing violent crime at a 30 -year low after a sharp increase two years ago.

Soldiers and federal agents patrol in major areas

According to a National Guard spokesperson, federal officials and National Guard soldiers were deployed in more high-profile areas on Wednesday with an extended missions plan in Thursday (local time). Homeland Security Investigation Agents patrolled the U Street Corridor, drug Enforcement Administration Officers were spotted at the National Mall, and the FBI agents were deployed with Massachusetts Avenue. DEA agent Navy Yard also joined the City Police in the neighborhood, while members of the National Guard were parked nearby.1,450 federal and local authorities patrolled the city on Tuesday night, made 43 arrests, while before the night before two dozen. Counselm Christina Henderson dismissed the count of arrest as a “group of traffic stops” and said the administration was trying to find out how unnecessary the intervention was. “I am looking at this list of arrest and they look like a Saturday night in any big city,” he said.

Trump defends the trick, indicated the potential extension

The federal law allows the President to control the police of Washington for 30 days without the approval of the Congress. Trump suggested that he could seek longer or ask Congress for the right to change the laws of the city. He said, “We are going to do it very quickly. But we want extensions. I don’t want to call a national emergency. If I want to do, I will.”Later, on Truth Social, he wrote, “DC has siege to thugs and killers, but now, DC is back under federal control where it is.”White House spokesman Taylor Rogers said, “President Trump is reaching the promise of his campaign to clean the city and restore American greatness in our funded capital.”The scheme also includes clearing homeless nests. The US Park Police has removed dozens of tents since March and plan to finish more this week. Press Secretary Karolin Levitt said that people are offered to treat shelter and addiction, but those who can refuse can be fined or imprisoned in jail.

City leaders want clarity amid crime

Police chief Pamela Smith said that the Metropolitan Police Department is below about 800 officers and will help in filling the federal reinforcement difference. Mayor Muril Boseer said that the authorities were not given specific targets to bounce during the meeting with Attorney General Palm Bandy and other federal officials, but shared the purpose of increasing appearance and removing guns from the roads. He earlier called Trump’s move “unresolved and unprecedented”, while paying attention that it was within his legal rights about the district.Some residents say that the increased force is unnecessary. Sheena Taylor, a native of Washington, said, “I have seen her in the metro here … she had my road where I am blocked yesterday, in fact,” Washington’s native Sheena Taylor said, quoted by AP. “This is more frightened now because even though you are a law -following citizen, here in DC, you don’t know, especially because I am an African American.”
