Federal Crime Crackdown Scores Major Arrests in D.C.

Liberty Check

The Trump administration’s campaign to restore order in Washington, D.C. took a decisive turn Thursday with the arrest of a suspected MS-13 gang member.

Attorney General Pam Bondi reported the operation netted 40 arrests, confiscated 5 illegal firearms, and resulted in 36 ICE detentions.

• A total of 719 arrests have occurred since federal law enforcement expanded into D.C. this month.
• Federal agents and 800 National Guard troops have been dispatched to the city to support local efforts.
• Crimes charged include homicide, trafficking, gun charges, and child sex offenses.

Military JAG attorneys are now being deployed to prosecute misdemeanor cases in D.C., demonstrating a commitment to tackling the city’s lawlessness head-on. “The assignment of 20 JAGs to my office is further proof of President Trump’s commitment to fighting and reducing crime in the district,” said U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

The DOJ is examining potential crime data manipulation after the suspension of a police commander accused of falsifying records.

Once again, the federal government is stepping up to defend public safety and ensure justice is served. Patriots must remain aware and involved in the fight to keep our streets safe from lawlessness.

The Constitution must be defended.
