The protesters continued to explode the Trump administration on the acquisition of policing at Washington, DC, preferred to an “invasion”, even as a crime.
The protesters, which were not part of a specific organization on a pedestrian bridge at I-95 in Virginia near the city this week, said “our system is being attacked.”
,The problem is that these national guards are like sons and daughters of my friends, “A woman told Fox News Digital.” It is away from his family. The money being wasted to create a point is really derogatory and like the United Nations-American because they are sending them against real Americans with weapons. And this is actually an attack. And we are not Russia, we are the United States of America. ,

The DC Police Union says that the crime has committed a tumble since the announcement of the acquisition by President Donald Trump earlier this month. On Thursday, it was noted that there was no report in the city in the last week.
Apart from the National Guard, several federal agencies including immigration and customs enforcement and FBI are on patrol in the capital city. Attorney General Palm Bondi signed an order that inspires local authorities to follow the federal immigration officers in a strong rebuke for their own sanctuary policies.

“719 arrests and 91 illegal guns were seized in Washington, DC made 40 arrests yesterday, 5 more illegal fire on our streets [President Trump] For your unbreakable support to make DC again safe! “Bondi posted on X on Friday morning.
Trump on Friday threatened to take the acquisition one step forward in a true social post.
“Washington, DC is safe again! The crowd is coming back, the soul is high, and our DC national guards and police are doing a great job. They are outside, and not playing games !!!” He has written.
“The worse it seems, it seems to say that there are no murders for the first time in memory this week. Mayor Muril Boseer should immediately stop giving figures of false and highly wrong crime, or bad things, including a complete and total federal acquisition of the city! Washington DC will be great soon !!!” The President said.

Another guard said that he was happy to see that the crime had fallen in the city, but said that it was not necessary to announce the issue of crime in Washington DC.
,I really believe that we are shying in an area where we are not following the law, where we are not doing things that we need to serve people, “he said.

“I’m so happy that the crime is down, and it doesn’t surprise me if you are going to soldiers and many people with law enforcement on the streets,” he said. “The problem with this is that we are creating an emergency from something that was not an emergency.”
