…Last week, days after Coristine’s attack, #Trump ordered #federal law enforcement agents from several agencies to be deployed throughout #DC & called for more juveniles to be charged in the adult justice system. In the days leading up to Monday’s announcement, the #FBI began dispatching agents in overnight shifts to *help* local law enforcement address carjackings & violent crime.

Extend your outrage over #Trump ordering the #NationalGuard & #FBI into #WashingtonDC while also ordering #police of all kinds to forcibly displace and confine #homeless people to your local mayor and power structure, where the policies may be branded differently but the intent is the same— and you have more power.
In #Minneapolis if we try to survive on "public" land, much of it vacant, owned by the city and other governments of parks, county, and state, we are evicted & our stuff stolen.
#Trump's moves toward taking over #Washington are unprecedented. Here's what the #law says
Section 740 of the #HomeRule Act allows for the president to take over Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department #MPD for 48 hours, with possible extensions to 30 days, during times of *emergencies*. No president has done so before, said Monica Hopkins, executive director of the ACLU of Washington.

"President Trump said violent crime in big cities was 'out of control.' The new FBI report on 2024 data says otherwise. …
The FBI’s data is unambiguous. Far from being “out of control,” violent crime in the United States fell by an estimated 4.5% in 2024. The numbers are even more striking when you break them down."

"And it is now arriving (returning, really) to the capital. Each time, the president has justified these military deployments under the pretext of a domestic crisis that facts do not support."

"There are the especially concerning facts of this military deployment, which we must place in the context of an ever-growing impulse to deploy the military within the United States. It began eight months ago at the southern border. It spread to Los Angeles earlier this summer."

"But at Trump’s press conference he claimed, 'Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals roving mobs of wild youth, drugged out maniacs and homeless people, and we’re not going to let it happen anymore.'”

"Data released by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in January, revealed that total violent crime in D.C. was at a 30-year low in 2024, and had decreased by 35 percent from 2023. Homicides were down 32 percent from 2023; robberies were down almost 40 percent; and armed carjackings were down more than 50 percent."

Trump also suggested that cities far beyond Washington’s region could experience the same fate.
'We have other cities also that are bad. Very bad. You look at Chicago, how bad it is. You look at Los Angeles, how bad it is. We have other cities that are very bad. New York has a problem. And then, of course, you have Baltimore and Oakland.'"

"Donald Trump’s usurpation of law enforcement in the nation’s capital carried a warning for America’s liberal bastions.
Speaking at a White House press briefing Monday morning, Trump declared a 'public safety emergency,' emphasizing Washington’s supposedly startling rise in crime while citing statistics from 2023 instead of 2025."

Wajahat Ali and Danielle Moodie ring a warning bell in a conversation they've just had about what's happening with Trump and his military occupation of D.C.:
"The overarching message in today’s episode is a stark warning: the America many knew is 'gone.'"

#Bowser noted that she could contest #Trump's decision, but added that his "authority is pretty broad" under the #HomeRule charter that gives the White House power to control #Washington, #DC police in the case of emergencies.
"Every single person who said we were being hysterical about Trump being an existential threat should be forced to explain how the President seizing control of the capital’s police force and deploying military units to forcibly relocate citizens represents normal democratic governance."

"Our Republic reaches a crossroads as the power of the White House to militarize our cities comes under judiciary scrutiny. …
There are already plenty of police within D.C, and neither the mayor of D.C. nor its police chief has asked for any federal help with crime control. Nor is the National Guard trained to conduct crime control as Trump wants them to."
