Other arrests included illegal occupation of firearms, excellent warrants for driving under influence and a arrest for violating a preventive order.
Patel wrote, “These are some examples – we are just starting. Federal partners joined the local police and arrested 23 in total.” “When you allow a good police to copy, they can clean our roads and do it fast. To come more. Your country’s capital will be safe again.”
On Monday, Trump said that he would make the police department federal and put it under the right of American Attorney General Palm Bondi in an attempt to address the crime. He also said that he was activating about 800 National Guard soldiers to re -establish “law, order and public security” in the capital.

Democrats and local authorities criticized the Trump administration for making law enforcement efforts in DC, saying that the step is part of a power grab.
Washington DC, Mayor Murial Boseer called the move “unresolved and unprecedented”.
The District Trump of the Colombia Home Rule Act allows the police department to keep the police department under federal control for 30 days. Bausar said that by providing DC State School, an issue has been repeatedly advocated by local authorities, can prevent acquisitions.
“If people are concerned about the President being able to transfer the national guard to our city, the time to do this would have been when the Congress had a bill that he could have given control of the DC National Guard to DC,” he said. “So, there are things that, when a city is not a state, and is not completely autonomous, and they do not have a senator that the federal government can do.”

“I don’t know how many of these cases have been resolved, but what can I tell you, again, these are guns on the streets. It is a person who is not worried about accountability who has no reason to fear law enforcement,” he continued. “I am here today to tell you that all these victims, from all these families, that they are going to be accountable, that we are going to make a difference, and we are going to make sure that the law enforcement is now innocent, now focused on the silent hunting of crime in the district.”
