Trump's DC Troop Surge Nets 103 Criminals

They confiscated a lot of illegal guns, which, supposedly, the Democrat Cult supports.

But of course they don't support this. They don't want criminals stripped of guns, they want law-abiding citizens -- Republicans -- stripped of guns.

Since August 7, law enforcement officials in Washington, DC have arrested over 100 people. This comes as President Donald Trump has taken action to crack down on crime in the nation's capital.

As of Wednesday morning, law enforcement officials have arrested 103 people, 43 of whom were arrested on Tuesday, a White House official told Fox News. In the early hours of August 7, some federal law enforcement began to be deployed to Washington, DC, including from the FBI, DEA, and Homeland Security Investigations.

...

Tuesday saw 1,450 law enforcement officials sweeping the streets of DC, including 30 National Guard troops and 750 uniformed DC police officers.

Of those arrests made on Tuesday, 33 were for firearm offenses, 10 were related to warrants, 23 were of illegal immigrants, one was for a suspected homicide, and seven were for narcotics charges. A total of 24 firearms were recovered.

One white liberal "man" threw a sandwich at a federal officer as a Mostly Peaceful Protest gesture.

He's now been arrested and will be prosecuted for assault on a federal officer.

A man who used a Subway sandwich as a weapon to attack a federal officer deployed by President Trump on the streets of DC earlier this week has been charged with felony assault.

The criminal case against suspect Sean Charles Dunn, 37, was announced Wednesday by DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who said in a statement that "the police are not out there to get pushed around or beat up."

Dunn was allegedly captured on video Sunday night shouting that a group of federal officers were "fascists" before whipping his deli sandwich at them and striking a US Customs and Border Protection agent in the chest.

"He thought it was funny. Well he doesn't think it's funny today because we charged him with a felony: Assault on a police officer," Pirro said in a video posted to X.

"So there, stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else!"

It gets better:

BREAKING: The deranged liberal who harassed and threw a sandwich at an FBI agent taking part in Trump's crime crackdown was a DOJ EMPLOYEE.

He has been fired and now faces felony charges.

"You see these fascists? Right here in our city! F--k you! F--k you fascists!"

I've heard he has now been terminated. Unfortunately, I only mean "fired."

Fake and gay.

Even reliable Democrat Cult water-carrier Joe Scarborough can't buy into the Cult's new cult doctrine that there is no crime problem in DC:

He reads an email from someone he says is a lifelong Democrat operative, who he says "We all know" (i.e., he's a famous high-ranking politician or bureaucrat), who anonymously says "Crime in DC is out of control."

They admit this privately, anonymously, but know they're not allowed to say it aloud.

Including "friends in the media" and Democrats who worked on Biden's, Obama's, and Hillary's campaign.

John Sexton digests all of the media's lies about crime being "down" in DC, and adds fake-libertarian archliberal Megan McArdle admitting that yes, crime in DC is out of control and frightening.

I make a point of agreeing with President Donald Trump whenever he is right about something, and I'm afraid he is right that in D.C., crime and disorder is a major problem. It is not as big a problem as it was a few years ago, but with crime, as with cancer, "somewhat less of a problem than it was" is not really very good news...

D.C. had 187 homicides in 2024, or about 27 for every 100,000 residents. That is, to be sure, a massive 32 percent drop from the 273 people who were killed in 2023, but that probably wasn't much comfort to those 187 people or their grieving families. And it's horrific compared with Boston, which had 3.7 homicides per 100,000 residents during that same time frame, New York City (4.7) or Los Angeles (7.1). Even a further reduction in 2025 -- year-to-date homicides have fallen 12 percent compared with the same period last year -- won't bring those numbers anywhere near where they should be. This is the capital city of our country. We ought to be able to do at least as well as other major cities.

Motor vehicle thefts tell a similar story. (I focus on these two crimes because they are somewhat less vulnerable to changes in reporting or statistical methods -- bodies are hard to hide, and car thefts are the best reported property crime.) In 2024, New York had almost three times as many cars stolen as D.C. -- in a city that has over 10 times our population. Even adjusting for higher rates of car ownership, that's a huge difference.

Another left-winger refuses to accept the lie that crime in DC is not a problem.

CNN's top legal analyst just shredded one of the Democrats' favorite talking points about President Trump's decision to federalize the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department. Appearing on CNN NewsNight Wednesday evening, Elie Honig, who has been an outspoken critic of Trump, flatly rejected the left's talking points that the move was illegitimate or purely political theater.

"I've worked extensively with police. And I don't have a problem tactically with what Donald Trump is doing here," Honig told the panel. "It doesn't have to be the most dangerous place on Earth. Something can be improving, but still really bad. If your house is on fire and then a third of the fire goes out, it's less bad, but it could still be an emergency."

Honig didn't sugarcoat his assessment of the nation's capital. "I work in D.C. It is dangerous there. You cannot deny that," he said. "A common police tactic is to surge resources. I've been part -- we call them 'task forces' -- they're applauded across the board, across the political board. I've done it in New Jersey. I've done it in New York. You take the FBI, you team them up with the Newark P.D., what have you, you make a visible presence."

Honig went even further, making clear that his past condemnation of Trump over January 6 doesn't mean the president can't act now to enforce the law. "I've been a 100% unambiguous critic of everything Donald Trump did on January 6th. I believe he should have been charged criminally. I believe the pardons were a disgrace. But why does that mean he can't do anything now to enforce the law, to promote public safety?"

DC's "crime stats" are fake. Not only was a high-ranking police official caught reducing the severity of crimes for his reports for the FBI, but DC cops also report being told by their superiors to fake arrest reports. Carl Cannon, a Democrat who works for Real Clear Politics, reported that cops are told that if they investigate a "youth" in the emergency room for a gunshot or knife wound in what is certainly a crime-related injury, but the "youth" lies and says "it was an accident," cops are supposed to accept that it was an accident and do no further investigation.

This is why the murder stats are so salient: It's hard to classify a murder as an "accident."
