Actions, coordinated by the White House, target individuals with active warrants for crimes such as robbery, unlawful gun possession, drug trafficking and aggression to law agents
The capital of the United States, Washington, DC, is under a more rigorous surveillance after the signing of an executive order by the president. This measure placed the city under federal intervention in the security area, resulting in an intensified presence of federal forces. Since the implementation of the order, 45 people have been arrested and 29 irregular immigrants have been removed from the city. The operation, which is not traditionally the role of the National Guard, was triggered by the presidential determination and has resulted in more than 100 arrests so far.
The actions, coordinated by the White House, target individuals with active warrants for crimes such as robbery, unlawful gun possession, drug trafficking and aggression to law agents. To reinforce security, the federal presence in the city was expanded with more than 800 National Guard soldiers, about 30 FBI agents and several other US security agents. The public administration stressed that the arrests occurred during targeted operations, focusing on maintaining security in the capital.
President Trump indicated the possibility of involving military personnel in the situation from next week if demonstrations that threaten the security of residents, tourists and law agents continue. This statement suggests that management is prepared to take even more drastic measures, if necessary, to ensure order and safety in Washington, DC
