One question now is “will they be held and tried for their crimes, or, will left wing loon judges release them with a slap on the wrist?”
Hundreds arrested as Trump’s Washington, DC, crime crackdown hits full stride
The Trump administration’s crackdown on violent crime in Washington, D.C., has already netted more than 240 arrests and taken 38 guns off the streets, a White House official told Fox News.
The show of force has swept up gang members, robbery suspects and immigration violators. On Friday alone, 52 people were arrested, including 28 illegal immigrants, while three guns were seized.
Federal teams also cleared 25 homeless encampments, and officials said those removals were carried out without confrontations or arrests.
White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller hailed the scale of the operations and said the numbers are “breathtaking.”
“We have seen a record number of violent offenders, bad guys, gang members and all kinds of threats to public safety removed off the streets as well as their illegal weapons that they’ve been using to terrorize the citizens of this city,” Miller told “Fox News Live.”
This is what Democrats are caterwauling about, what they’re fighting against.
Other arrests included drug distribution, weapons violations and outstanding warrants. Police also detained suspects accused of fleeing law enforcement, reckless driving, assault with a dangerous weapon and kidnapping.
Good, good
West Virginia aid: Gov. Patrick Morrisey of West Virginia, a Republican, said on Saturday that he was sending 300 to 400 troops from the state’s National Guard to Washington at President Trump’s request. The troops are believed to be joining about 800 Washington National Guard members already there as part of Mr. Trump’s operation to fight crime in the nation’s capital that he has claimed is “out of control,” even though official data shows that it has been falling sharply.
That actually helps, considering the D.C. Police Dept was down about 800 officers.
And realize that many of those heat zones are happening in what would usually be safer neighborhoods, because that’s where the nice cars are
They’re really whining about cleaning up crime and the homeless. I wonder how many actually live in D.C.?
The real question is: will any of them actually be prosecuted?
Depends on skin and hat color.
Yeah, it probably does. If any of the arrested are white men wearing read MAGA hats, you can count on them being prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Those arrested who are not white men wearing red MAGA hats will receive as lenient treatment as possible.
In your hometown as of 8:03 AM today, there have been 83 homicides, the victims being 57 black males, 13 white males, 10 black females, 3 white females and one ‘other’ male. The suspects include 62 black males, 2 white males, and 6 black females. We’re the Gateway City to receive teh same kind of law enforcement as Washington or Philadelphia, there would be two white males heading to prison for the rest of their miserable lives, and 68 black men and women looking at plea bargains that would get them out of jail sometime before they are elderly and physically harmless.
Bologna! With this new sheriff in town, MAGAts are pardoned or not even charged! The entire DC kerfuffle is Lil Don 1) distracting from his chronic Epstein Problem 2) to punish Blacks and 3) to show MAGAts what a tough guy he is.
Jaywalking Black kid? Off with his head!!
Rimjob please!
Enough with your lies.
If the National Guard could do this, why couldn’t the city’s police have done it all along?
On Friday alone, 52 people were arrested, including 28 illegal immigrants, while three guns were seized.
The average number of daily arrests in 2024 was 56.
William Teach: One question now is “will they be held and tried for their crimes
That will largely depend on whether the government has actual evidence of a crime being committed.
You seem to be awfully trusting of big government.
Well, the 28 illegal immigrants can, at the very least, be kicked out on their skanky asses.
Of course, 28 is more than half of 52, 53.85% to be precise, so unless the population of the district are 53.85% illegals, then it would seem that the illegals are committing crimes at a far greater rate than the population in general, at least based on an admittedly small sample.
Like you were when “big government” was trying to force everyone to take an untested vaccine or buy electric cars or prosecuting the Capitol kerfufflers or saying that girls can be boys and boys can be girls?
I will admit it: I do trust government more when government is striving for normal, civilized society as opposed to domination by the depraved and the perverted.
And you kiddieZ were awfully trusting of the AutoPen regime (Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Garland, Mueller, Schiff, et al).
Russia, Russia, Russia!
Bwaha! Lolgf Losers!
MAGA47 Motherfuckers!
Dana: the illegals are committing crimes at a far greater rate than the population in general
You are making the assumption that the persons said to be undocumented aliens were also arrested for a crime.
Dana: when “big government” was trying to force …
Whataboutism.
Dana: there have been 83 homicides {in St. Louis}
Yet, Trump deployed troops onto the city streets of Washington DC, even though there are other cities with higher crime rates, and even though Washington’s crime rate is dropping.
Dana: I do trust government more when government is striving for normal, civilized society
Sure. Armed military in the streets of America is “normal”.
Give it up kiddieZ.
You have no real arguments.
None. Go the fuck away.
For those unaware, the Z people are children in high school or lower and are using this platform to work on their debate performance. They are in a debate club and really have no knowledge of their subject and very little logic. Play with them if you desire, but it is a waste of time. By the way, they are blocked at most conservative sites.
For those unaware, david7134 is a disgraced, racist “doctor” from Louisiana who makes up stories about commenters who make him look stupid. Every word he types is a lie.
Zachriel has revealed david as a vile idiot, which is why david lies about him.
Oh Rimjob please!
Enough!
I don’t think fat Jeff like me. What am I to do.

But it’s much more of a crime than our good friends on the left will acknowledge. If they are here illegally — a civil offense — then they still have to support themselves, and that’s where the real crimes accumulate. Without citizenship or valid work permits, they cannot work legally in this country, which means they have provided falsified documents to employers, and that’s a felony. If they avoided that by working for cash under the table, they are evading income and Social Security taxes, and that’s a felony.
You already knew that, of course, but still brought up the typical liberal message; why is that?
The District of Columbia is a federal enclave; the President has greater, legally easier to exercise authority there.
However, your argument is disingenuous, combitching that the President’s actions are wholly wrong because he didn’t tackle a worse problem first. Sorry, but that dog won’t hunt. Rather, it demonstrates that the state governors can do the same things in New Orleans, St Louis, or Memphis, to try to rein in crime in those [insert dlang term for feces here]hole cities.
Perhaps you’ll next combitch that New Orleans, St Louis, and Memphis are in ‘red’ states, so it’s really the fault of us evil, reich-wing conservatives, but, sadly, those cities in those strongly ‘red’ states are still now, and long have been, run by Democrats.
There is one, and only one, solution to crime, and that’s to enforce the laws strictly. The left and the Democrats have been, for decades now, been trying every solution but locking up the bad guys, and all have failed, failed miserably.
Dana,
You left out:
If they are working with a fake SSN, then they normally indicate 9 dependents to minimize their withholdings, which is tax fraud, a felony.
Poor little Eric the FangBanger seems really upset about something.
Well, the rest of the democrats are too.

Bwaha! Lolgfy Losers!
MAGA47 Motherfuckers!
Zachiel sure touched a nerve with Teach’s Posse (TP), didn’t he, LOL. We see the TP is pulling out all the stops – lies, change of subject, personal attacks.
Why has the DC police budget been cut the past 5 years?
Does Mr trump’s plan to send the Army to every large city in the US to permanently control the Blacks the way he’s controlling the Hispanics?
Why have crime rates been decreasing (down over 50% since the Reagan regime!!!)? We know, we know… the TP whine “Why isn’t it zero?”. Hypotheses suggest the drop resulted from improved policing, increased incarceration, Clinton economy, burn-out of crack cocaine epidemic, criminal class aged out etc.
Are the MAGAts ready to spend $100s of BILLIONS on upgrading community policing, mental health support, public schooling, correcting the exploding wealth gap between rich and poor?
So Rimjob why are the democrats so adamant about denying crime and actually enabling policies that advance more crime?
Will the Army men and women occupy DC indefinitely? Or is the plan to round up ALL the bad guys (including the dangerous hotel maids, dishwashers, janitors, deliverymen and clerks, thus making ALL the crime disappear!)
Are there plans for the feds to finance expanding the police forces needed in DC, Louisville, Lexington, St Louis, Columbus, New Orleans, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Jacksonville, Houston, Dallas, OK City, Memphis etc
Fear is what the likes of trump use to motivate their klan. Fear of Mexicans, Negroes, Muslims and Queer boys. Will sending federal troops into cities solve crime? Of course not. It’s a stunt.
trump is a total demented failure surrounded by obsequious toadies, sycophants, yes-men, lickspittles, flatterers, sponges, fools and parasites. The administration is limited by trump’s “intellect”, notions and emotions. It’s all a show.
We know what causes crime. Poverty, testosterone, psychology (anger, greed, jealousy, lack of self-control) unemployment, lack of education, childhood trauma/neglect, peer pressure, violent upbringing, lack of social and community support, firearms… Violent psychopaths and sociopaths need to be locked away forever.
Denmark, Japan, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, New Zealand, Slovenia, Singapore, Austria, Ireland, Iceland, Portugal, Spain etc have quite low violent crime rates.
Dana: The fact that they are in the country illegally is a crime.
Mere presence is not a criminal act, but a civil violation. That would also render your statement about criminal rates vacuous. This is the common conflation on the Trumpian right: saying they are just going after “criminals” when they mean going after all undocumented persons, and even documented persons who publicly criticize the government.
Nor should you necessarily take the government’s word about whom they have arrested, but due process under the rule of law must be exercised to hold the government accountable. (So much for small government republicanism.)
When there are 15 million undocumented and “hundreds” are arrested what we are seeing is only theater to entertain the MAGA mobs. The Nazis blamed the Jews for the same problems they the ultra right MAGA blame migrants.
Mr Z wrote:
Note Zachriel’s dishonesty here. What I actually wrote was:
I pointed out that it was a civil rather than criminal offense, but then went on to note how the illegals could not legally work in this country without the proper documents, and that the actions they took to work here were felonies.
The only “undocumented persons”, to use Mr Z’s mealy-mouthed description of illegal immigrants, who are not committing those crimes, virtually every day, would be those who are being supported by someone who is here legally and able to work. And those people could be accused of illegally harboring an illegal alien.
When cornered, MAGAts usually resort to irrelevant semantic arguments.
Mr Dana made the false (but admittedly largely irrelevant) statement:
It’s a civil offense. “But being here illegally means they must commit multiple felonies to survive!!” Serious felonies like getting a job! At least they didn’t bribe a sex worker to keep her quiet to enable an election, and doctor business documents to hide it. At least they didn’t sexually assault a columnist in a NYC department store. At least they didn’t collect millions of dollars from their own fake university. The law is the law, LOL.
Perspective, boys.
According to Mr trump, America needs workers to tend and butcher our herds, harvest our crops, build our homes, clean our hotels, tend our golf courses and lawns, etc.
If MAGAts were motivated by wisdom instead of fears and hatred, they would help develop a system to enable an organized way to incorporate these workers. But MAGAts are driven by fear of losing their esteem and white privilege.
“Release the Files!”
Dana: I pointed out that it was a civil rather than criminal offense
In other words, they were seized by armed military on the city streets of America for “crimes” without evidence.
